So Ri Lee

3×3 · top 5.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017LEES02

So Ri Lee has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.34, set at Play Cube 2017, puts her in the top 5.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 340th in Republic of Korea. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2017, she has put 30 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 11.77 in February 2017 to 9.34, a 21% improvement. So has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
