Lim Zi Way (林紫葳) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.85, set at Singapore Mofun & FIS Cubing 2022, puts her in the top 0.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 19th in Singapore. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since February 2019, she has put 314 official solves on the record across eight events.

Her Pyraminx best has come down from 3.66 in February 2019 to 1.85, a 49% improvement. Lim has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
