3×3 · top 4.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015NORE01

Muhammad Haziq Noreffendi has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.91, set at Putra Speedcubing Challenge 2017, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 235th in Malaysia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2015, he has put 253 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.92 in December 2015 to 8.91, a 36% improvement. Muhammad has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
