Ng Kang Zhe (黄康哲) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.16, set at Yong Jun KL Speedcubing 2023, puts him in the top 18.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 414th in Singapore. Across 31 competitions since February 2016, he has put 282 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 24.53 in February 2016 to 13.16, a 46% improvement. Ng has entered 31 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
