3×3 · top 5.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2026 · 2026ZHEL01
Lee Yuan Zhe has been competing for 6 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.35, set at 1 Shamelin Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 283rd in Malaysia. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since February 2026, he has put 101 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.56 in February 2026 to 9.35, a 19% improvement. Lee has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
