Ho Zhen Xiang
3×3 · top 2.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2025 · 2025XIAN08
Ho Zhen Xiang has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.05, set at Kuala Lumpur Cubing Challenge 2026, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 137th in Malaysia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2025, he has put 67 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.46 in May 2025 to 8.05, a 15% improvement. Ho has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
