Chew Zheng Rui

3×3 · top 6.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022RUIC01

Chew Zheng Rui has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.73, set at STEM Cube Open Penang 2023, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 338th in Malaysia. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2022, he has put 95 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.97 in July 2022 to 9.73, a 30% improvement. Chew has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
