3×3 · top 2.3% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2025 · 2025FONG02
William Fong has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.70, set at Road to Nats: El Dorado 2026, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Panama. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2025, he has put 37 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 21% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.98 in March 2025 to 7.70, a 72% improvement. William 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.
