Jae Min Ahn

3×3 · top 7.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017AHNJ01

Jae Min Ahn has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.01, set at MIT Fall 2018, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,115th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2017, he has put 57 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.25 in April 2017 to 10.01, a 48% improvement. Jae has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
