Jia-Rui Kang (康家睿) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.52, set at Taipei Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 539th in Chinese Taipei. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since September 2023, he has put 79 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 30.55 in September 2023 to 10.52, a 66% improvement. He has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
