Goo Guan Yuan (伍冠源) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.77, set at Kedah Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 514th in Malaysia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2025, he has put 70 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.39 in September 2025 to 10.77, a 34% improvement. Goo has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
