Skewb · top 0.78% of 73,281 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014KIMJ09
Junsu Kim (김준수) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.73, set at Korea Winter 2015, puts him in the top 0.78% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Republic of Korea. Until July 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2014, he has put 115 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.38 in December 2014 to 14.46, a 38% improvement. Junsu has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
