Yunho Nam (남윤호)

Clock · top 4.1% of 32,048 all-time · competing since January 2014 · 2014NAMY01

Yunho Nam (남윤호) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 4.88, set at Korean Championship 2016, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23rd in Republic of Korea. Until April 2015, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since January 2014, he has put 189 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.63 in January 2014 to 10.72, a 21% improvement. Yunho has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
