Juwan Kim
3×3 · top 9.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024KIMJ18
Juwan Kim has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.54, set at Korean Championship 2024, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 514th in Republic of Korea. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2024, he has put 93 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.90 in March 2024 to 10.54, a 54% improvement. Juwan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
