Cheng-Lin Tu (杜承霖) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.84, set at Maru Cube for Kids Day 2015, puts him in the top 20.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,196th in Chinese Taipei. Across 3 competitions since August 2013, he has put 47 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.29 in August 2013 to 13.84, a 41% improvement. He has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
