Lee Hong Wei

3×3 · top 7.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017WEIL06

Lee Hong Wei has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.05, set at Putra Speedcubing Challenge 2018, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 382nd in Malaysia. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since December 2017, he has put 28 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.48 in December 2017 to 10.05, a 19% improvement. Lee has entered two competitions.

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.
