Inchul Kim has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.83, set at Korean Championship 2018, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 268th in Republic of Korea. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2016, he has put 48 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. Inchul has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
