Johan Hilmi Bin Nor Ashraf

3×3 blindfolded · top 3.5% of 12,178 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016NORA01

Johan Hilmi Bin Nor Ashraf has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 27.17, set at Sumatra Open 2018, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Malaysia. Until October 2012, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2016, he has put 160 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 33.06 in October 2016 to 11.25, a 66% improvement. Johan has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
