Tzu-Chuan Lin (林子銓) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.19, set at Taipei Summer Open 2024, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 133rd in Chinese Taipei. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since September 2019, he has put 148 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 42.97 in September 2019 to 21.01, a 51% improvement. He has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
