Ethan Chung has been competing for a year. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 7.22, set at Benicia Open II 2026, puts him in the top 11.8% of the 32,817 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 919th in the United States. Across 4 competitions since November 2025, he has put 65 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs.

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.
