Race Malubay

3×3 · top 6.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017MALU01

Race Malubay has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.55, set at Mactan Speedcubing Open 2019, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 644th in the Philippines. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since September 2017, he has put 230 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.37 in September 2017 to 9.55, a 34% improvement. Race has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
