Cameron Tan
3×3 · top 5.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since November 2022 · 2022TANC04
Cameron Tan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.17, set at The Big Cube Melbourne 2023, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,018th in the United States. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2022, he has put 146 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.79 in November 2022 to 9.17, a 54% improvement. Cameron has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
