Mark Cheung has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.79, set at World Rubik's Cube Championship 2017, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 89th in the United Kingdom. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since June 2017, he has put 39 official solves on the record across one event.

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.
