Lee Wen Tao has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.85, set at Yong Jun KL Speedcubing 2023, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Malaysia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2022, he has put 91 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 5.39 in July 2022 to 3.85, a 29% improvement. Lee has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
