Timothy Yang has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 43.02, set at Altona Algorithms 2024, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36th in Australia. Until April 2011, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since July 2022, he has put 865 official solves on the record across 14 events.

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.
