Charles Chong Wen Jian has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.72, set at Rubik's WCA Asian Championship 2024, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 46th in Malaysia. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since December 2022, he has put 635 official solves on the record across twelve events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 7.87 in December 2022 to 2.72, a 65% improvement. Charles has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
