Timothy Halim has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.59, set at Singapore Augu-Skewb Day 2026, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 59th in Singapore. Until August 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since February 2013, he has put 153 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.03 in February 2013 to 11.16, a 26% improvement. Timothy has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
