Tan Yue Chung has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.64, set at Yong Jun KL Speedcubing 2023, puts him in the top 0.31% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Malaysia. Until March 2013, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2019, he has put 160 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.02 in December 2019 to 5.64, a 69% improvement. Tan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
