Nicholas Chiang has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.72, set at Vancouver Fall 2016, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 636th in Canada. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2015, he has put 124 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.22 in May 2015 to 9.72, a 49% improvement. Nicholas has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
