3×3 · top 11.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2011 · 2011DONG02

Seo Dong-Joo (서동주) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.35, set at Korean Winter 2013, puts him in the top 11.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 647th in Republic of Korea. Across 3 competitions since July 2011, he has put 53 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.94 in July 2011 to 11.35, a 24% improvement. Seo has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
