Maria Huang has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.37, set at Desafío 50 Años Altaplaza 2024, puts her in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 27th in Panama.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 14.98 in October 2017 to 10.37, a 31% improvement. Maria has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
