Ray Vince Ong

3×3 · top 0.76% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2012 · 2012ONGR01

Ray Vince Ong has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.39, set at Appleby Winter B 2023, puts him in the top 0.76% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 71st in Canada. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 42 competitions since August 2012, he has put 1,312 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 44 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.50 in August 2012 to 6.39, a 63% improvement. Ray has entered 42 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
