Lim Joa Quin

3×3 · top 7.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017QUIN08

Lim Joa Quin has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.11, set at Putra Speedcubing Challenge 2018, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 399th in Malaysia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2017, he has put 112 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.88 in August 2017 to 10.11, a 49% improvement. Lim has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
