Jiho Lee (이지호) has been competing for 3 years.

Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2023, he has put 87 official solves on the record across six events.

Jiho has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
