Jeong Bin Lee (이정빈) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.99, set at Korean Spring Picnic 2017, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 287th in Republic of Korea. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2012, he has put 67 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.38 in January 2013 to 8.99, a 33% improvement. Jeong has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
