3×3 · top 3.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023JOSH07
Ng Kai En Joshua has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.11, set at Johor Mini 2023, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in Singapore. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2023, he has put 219 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 70% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.16 in March 2023 to 8.11, a 43% improvement. Ng has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
