JunHyeong Choi (최준형) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.79, set at Hamchang Winter 2024, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 110th in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since September 2022, he has put 421 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.38 in September 2022 to 9.81, a 61% improvement. JunHyeong has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
