Chiew Jie Xi has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.84, set at Perth Time Trial 2024, puts her in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in Malaysia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2022, she has put 357 official solves on the record across ten events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 22.97 in December 2022 to 7.84, a 66% improvement. Chiew has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
