Jeffrey Hori

3×3 · top 6.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2011 · 2011HORI01

Jeffrey Hori has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.77, set at Harvard Spring 2013, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,735th in the United States. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2011, he has put 225 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.81 in March 2011 to 9.77, a 51% improvement. Jeffrey has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
