Tudor Lin

3×3 one-handed · top 0.62% of 73,695 all-time · competing since September 2018 · 2018LINT05

Tudor Lin has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 9.24, set at Liberty Science Center Open 2019, puts him in the top 0.62% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in the United States. Until November 2013, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since September 2018, he has put 74 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.03 in September 2018 to 7.67, a 30% improvement. Tudor has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
