Noah Cheong has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.53, set at WA Open 2023, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 60th in Singapore. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since March 2022, he has put 436 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 17.19 in March 2022 to 7.53, a 56% improvement. Noah has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
