Chong Jen Foong (莊振峰) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 51.90, set at Manchester Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 43rd in Malaysia. Until April 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 22 competitions since February 2017, he has put 613 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.11 in February 2017 to 9.95, a 34% improvement. Chong has entered 22 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
