Jae Park

3×3 blindfolded · top 4.3% of 12,178 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015PARK24

Jae Park has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 30.72, set at Bangalore Mini July 2025, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 84th in the United States. Until October 2011, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 131 competitions since December 2015, he has put 658 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 27 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:03.71 in December 2015 to 16.84, a 74% improvement. Jae has entered 131 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
