Evan Tan Yitian (陈奕添) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 2.53, set at Singapore Warm Up January 2026, puts him in the top 0.27% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in Singapore.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 3.07 in September 2023 to 1.47, a 52% improvement. Evan has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
