Kuan-Lun Chen (陳冠綸)
3×3 · top 6.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2024 · 2024CHEK01
Kuan-Lun Chen (陳冠綸) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.48, set at Maru Cube Day Taiwan 2026, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 367th in Chinese Taipei. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2024, he has put 86 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.54 in August 2024 to 9.48, a 35% improvement. He has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
