Kazuhito Iimura (飯村数人)
Square-1 · top 6.7% of 25,272 all-time · competing since May 2008 · 2008IIMU01
Kazuhito Iimura (飯村数人) has been competing for 18 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 10.31, set at UT Open 2011, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 22nd in Japan. Until August 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since May 2008, he has put 90 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.15 in December 2008 to 12.34, a 44% improvement. Kazuhito has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
