Soo Keng Yang Brayden has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.28, set at Singapore Cube Championship 2019, puts him in the top 9.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in Singapore. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2016, he has put 117 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 11.69 in February 2016 to 3.94, a 66% improvement. Soo 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.
