3×3 · top 1.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023HINF01
Foo Yik Hin has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.43, set at Malaysia Newcomer 2025, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 82nd in Malaysia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since September 2023, he has put 271 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.97 in September 2023 to 7.43, a 38% improvement. Foo has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
