Bryan Goh Zheng Yi
3×3 · top 6.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022YIBR02
Bryan Goh Zheng Yi has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.50, set at 1 Shamelin Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 301st in Malaysia. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2022, he has put 166 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 88% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.63 in October 2022 to 9.50, a 63% improvement. Bryan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
