Jason Ling has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.21, set at Canadian Open 2015, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 313th in Canada. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2014, he has put 194 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 19.73 in May 2014 to 3.53, an 82% improvement. Jason has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
