Timothy Ng
3×3 blindfolded · top 5.5% of 12,178 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023NGTI01
Timothy Ng has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 35.04, set at Canada's Best in the West 2024, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11th in Singapore. Until February 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2023, he has put 87 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.93 in March 2023 to 12.65, a 15% improvement. Timothy has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
