Lau Chung Shun (劉重信) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 28.66, set at Hong Kong Championship 2025, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Hong Kong, China. Until April 2012, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since March 2023, he has put 278 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.44 in March 2023 to 7.84, a 17% improvement. Lau has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
