3×3 · top 14.7% of 288,433 all-time · competing since December 2021 · 2021CHIN02
Daniel Chin has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.22, set at Australian Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 14.7% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,343rd in Australia. Across 11 competitions since December 2021, he has put 243 official solves on the record across eight 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 6 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.90 in December 2021 to 4.13, a 48% improvement. Daniel has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
