Guan-Jen Chen (陳冠禎) has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.08, set at Taichung Open 2024, puts her in the top 1.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 78th in Chinese Taipei. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since July 2019, she has put 393 official solves on the record across six events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 11.13 in July 2019 to 7.08, a 36% improvement. She has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
