Nini Chieng

3×3 · top 73.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2021 · 2021CHIE03

Nini Chieng has been competing for 6 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 37.47, set at Victorian Open 2023, puts her in the top 73.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,505th in Australia. Across 10 competitions since March 2021, she has put 95 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 2×2 best has come down from 18.72 in March 2021 to 10.29, a 45% improvement. Nini has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
