Cheng Jay En

3×3 · top 8.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024ENCH01

Cheng Jay En has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.31, set at Selangor Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 425th in Malaysia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since July 2024, he has put 266 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.82 in July 2024 to 10.31, a 69% improvement. Cheng has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
