Chong Zhen Shen

3×3 · top 9.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2018 · 2018SHEN45

Chong Zhen Shen has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.52, set at Malaysia Cube Championship 2019, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 465th in Malaysia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2018, he has put 44 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.83 in November 2018 to 10.52, an 11% improvement. Chong has entered two competitions.

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.
