3×3 · top 4.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024HUIS03
Ken Huisenga has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.64, set at Warm Up Seattle 2025, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,277th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since November 2024, he has put 181 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.25 in November 2024 to 8.64, a 29% improvement. Ken has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
