Juwon Kim
Pyraminx · top 7.6% of 129,321 all-time · competing since June 2022 · 2022KIMJ06
Juwon Kim has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.99, set at Crystal City Fall 2022, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 121st in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2022, he has put 115 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.22 in June 2022 to 10.68, a 50% improvement. Juwon 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.
