John Paul Lomtong
3×3 · top 4.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016LOMT01
John Paul Lomtong has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.67, set at Philippine Championship 2017, puts him in the top 4.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 421st in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since October 2016, he has put 72 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. John has entered two 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.
