Lawrence Wong

3×3 · top 3.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2024 · 2024WONG27

Lawrence Wong has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.35, set at Davao City Open 2026, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 329th in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since June 2024, he has put 76 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.76 in June 2024 to 8.35, a 14% improvement. Lawrence has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
