Lucas Hua has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.58, set at Nimble Newborough 2025, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 739th in Australia.

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.
