Ng Jian Je (方健泽) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 8.67, set at Malaysian Cube Championship 2017, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in Malaysia. Until October 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since July 2014, he has put 190 official solves on the record across eight events.

Best single per competition, Square-1. 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.
