Louis Tan Kai Jie
3×3 one-handed · top 0.64% of 74,621 all-time · competing since May 2023 · 2023JIEL02
Louis Tan Kai Jie has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 9.26, set at Kedah Cube Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.64% of the 74,621 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Malaysia. Until November 2013, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since May 2023, he has put 651 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 15 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.30 in May 2023 to 6.54, a 54% improvement. Louis has entered 19 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.
