William Hur
3×3 one-handed · top 8.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024HURW01
William Hur has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 15.16, set at Nub Open Trabuco Hills Fall 2025, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,123rd in the United States. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since January 2024, he has put 194 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.11 in January 2024 to 13.03, a 48% improvement. William has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
