2×2 · top 8.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024INWO01
Jung InWon (정인원) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.45, set at Start of Summer Beijing 2026, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 241st in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since April 2024, he has put 237 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.96 in August 2024 to 2.45, a 69% improvement. Jung has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
