Lachlan Ho
7×7 · top 7.2% of 14,226 all-time · competing since January 2014 · 2014HOLA01
Lachlan Ho has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 7×7: a personal-best single of 2:47.53, set at Speedy Southport 2025, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 14,226 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 34th in Australia. Until September 2012, no official 7×7 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since January 2014, he has put 256 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 45.72 in January 2014 to 11.31, a 75% improvement. Lachlan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
