Elmer Eng
3×3 · top 1.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2019 · 2019ENGE04
Elmer Eng has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.95, set at Singapore Mofun & FIS Cubing 2022, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 38th in Singapore. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2019, he has put 86 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.41 in June 2019 to 6.95, a 33% improvement. Elmer 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.
