Lee Jae-Yong

3×3 one-handed · top 8.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since January 2007 · 2007JAEY02

Lee Jae-Yong has been competing for 20 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 15.13, set at Seoul Cube Championship 2008, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 117th in Republic of Korea. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2007, he has put 172 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.29 in January 2007 to 10.58, a 39% improvement. Lee has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
