Hayden Ma

3×3 · top 9.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2021 · 2021MAHA02

Hayden Ma has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.50, set at Melbourne Cube Days 2022, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 797th in Australia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2021, he has put 140 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.64 in December 2021 to 10.50, a 44% improvement. Hayden has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
