Ho Chuen Lai (何傳禮)
3×3 · top 7.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017LAIH01
Ho Chuen Lai (何傳禮) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.15, set at Hong Kong Small Cube Day 2023, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 192nd in Hong Kong, China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2017, he has put 33 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.57 in February 2017 to 10.15, a 57% improvement. Ho has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
