Kevin Lee

6×6 · top 1.7% of 17,510 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015LEEK01

Kevin Lee has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 6×6: a personal-best single of 1:28.64, set at Nub Open Trabuco Hills Fall 2025, puts him in the top 1.7% of the 17,510 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 63rd in the United States. Until January 2017, no official 6×6 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 35 competitions since April 2015, he has put 668 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.31 in April 2015 to 7.51, a 73% improvement. Kevin has entered 35 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
