2×2 · top 8.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017TANC02
Chong-Ming Tan has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.46, set at Malaysia Cube Open 2017, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 211th in Malaysia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2017, he has put 28 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.14 in October 2017 to 11.15, a 31% 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.
