Ethan Moniaga

3×3 · top 3.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023MONI01

Ethan Moniaga has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.56, set at Tramsheds II: May Sunday 2024, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 368th in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2023, he has put 101 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.91 in March 2023 to 8.56, a 46% improvement. Ethan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
