Kian Mansour is a competitive Canadian cuber. He is known for his use and development of the Roux method. He is officially the fastest Roux solver after achieving a 6.52 average at the Pickering Spring 2018 Competition. He achieved first place in the first round of the World Rubik's Cube Championship 2017 with an average of 6.86 seconds, but blundered in the second round at 92nd place due to a counting 12, therefore not moving on to semifinals.
Kian's main events are 3x3, OH, and 2x2. He has achieved a sub-7 global average at home after only 2 and a half years of cubing. His YouTube channel has videos on solves, guides, tutorials, and tips for the Roux method. His contributions to Roux include the development of speed-optimal CMLL algorithms, block tricks, and LSE tricks. All of his work can be accessed on his YouTube channel and his website: Kian's Roux Guide.
In 2018, he started a 7-month hiatus from cubing since his dad abruptly made him stop going to competitions, and he was therefore not motivated to practise. This is likely because his family is more focused on education.
