3×3 · top 5.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2025 · 2025KAIT01
Teh Cheng Kai has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.18, set at USM Penang Cube 2026, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 268th in Malaysia. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2025, he has put 31 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. Teh has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
