Skewb · top 5.7% of 73,281 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017XIAN13
Heng Tian Xiang has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.15, set at Malaysian Cube Championship 2017, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 59th in Malaysia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2017, he has put 141 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Heng 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.
