Lim Wei Ming has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.37, set at USM Penang Cube 2018, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Malaysia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2017, he has put 149 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.97 in August 2017 to 9.05, a 35% improvement. Lim 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.
