Pin-Ci Chen (陳品淇) has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.36, set at Taipei Cube Open 2026, puts her in the top 3.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 198th in Chinese Taipei. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2024, she has put 103 official solves on the record across six events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.33 in June 2024 to 8.36, a 32% improvement. She has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
