Tan Jun Long
3×3 · top 7.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2015 · 2015LONG03
Tan Jun Long has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.84, set at Johor Cube Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 359th in Malaysia. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2015, he has put 107 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 71% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.42 in June 2015 to 9.84, a 40% improvement. Tan has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
