3×3 · top 60.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018CHOI10
Siwoo Choi (최시우) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 28.67, set at Play Cube X4 2019, puts him in the top 60.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,987th in Republic of Korea. Across 9 competitions since May 2018, he has put 81 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:16.97 in May 2018 to 28.67, a 63% improvement. Siwoo has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
