Chiou Hau Yie has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.47, set at WA State Championship 2025, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 84th in Malaysia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2017, he has put 135 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.55 in December 2017 to 7.47, a 40% improvement. Chiou 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.
