Chin-An Lin (林勁安) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.84, set at Taipei Summer Open 2024, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 30th in Chinese Taipei. Until October 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2024, he has put 62 official solves on the record across two events. His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.32 in June 2024 to 4.16, a 22% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
