2×2 · top 1.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022NGJI01
Ng Jia Hao has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.31, set at MyFamilyFest Speedcubing Challenge 2025, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 29th in Malaysia. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2022, he has put 206 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.90 in December 2022 to 7.81, a 48% improvement. Ng has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
