3×3 · top 5.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023KANG18
Tay Yong Kang has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.35, set at Mofunland Speedcubing Singapore 2024, puts him in the top 5.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 151st in Singapore. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2023, he has put 35 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.54 in June 2023 to 9.35, a 25% improvement. Tay 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.
