Guan-Ting Pan (潘冠廷) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 29.02, set at Hsinchu Summer Open 2024, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 63rd in Chinese Taipei. Until April 2012, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since November 2018, he has put 420 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.36 in November 2018 to 7.71, a 46% improvement. He has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
