Pu-Hsien Lin (林普賢) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.17, set at Taipei Winter Open 2018, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 316th in Chinese Taipei. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2017, he has put 35 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.40 in July 2017 to 9.17, a 26% improvement. He 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.
