Joel Yii Ann En

3×3 · top 2.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018ENJO01

Joel Yii Ann En has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.84, set at Putra Speedcubing Challenge 2019, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Malaysia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2018, he has put 196 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.88 in April 2018 to 7.84, a 21% improvement. Joel has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
