Johnathan Chen Boon Bin
Pyraminx · top 4.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022BINJ01
Johnathan Chen Boon Bin has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.32, set at Yong Jun KL Speedcubing 2023, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 85th in Malaysia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2022, he has put 166 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.36 in July 2022 to 13.75, a 32% improvement. Johnathan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
