Hansen Ma has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.12, set at Tramsheds IV: Summer Saturday 2025, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 295th in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since September 2022, he has put 150 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 10.16 in March 2023 to 8.12, a 20% improvement. Hansen has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
