3×3 · top 3.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2015 · 2015HUAN51

Kairui Huang has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.26, set at Ajax Winter 2019, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 323rd in Canada. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since November 2015, he has put 564 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 24.63 in November 2015 to 8.26, a 66% improvement. Kairui has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
