3×3 one-handed · top 3.3% of 73,695 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016LEEK09

Kian I. Lee has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.21, set at West Visayas Championship 2023, puts him in the top 3.3% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 69th in the Philippines. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2016, he has put 352 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.37 in December 2016 to 8.83, a 65% improvement. Kian has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
