Nick Wong has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.85, set at New to Sherwood Park 2024, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 658th in Canada. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since August 2018, he has put 382 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.73 in August 2018 to 9.85, a 41% improvement. Nick has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
