You-En Tu (涂佑恩) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.07, set at Shin Kong Cube Open - New Taipei 2026, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 301st in Chinese Taipei. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2024, he has put 50 official solves on the record across two events.

He has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
