Sheng-Long Lin (林聖龍) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.80, set at Taoyuan Airport Cube Day 2024, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 110th in Chinese Taipei.

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.
