Wong Pok Wai (黃博慧)
3×3 · top 4.0% of 288,433 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024WAIW01
Wong Pok Wai (黃博慧) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.62, set at Hong Kong Cube Day 2026, puts her in the top 4.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 132nd in Hong Kong, China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2024, she has put 51 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 11.19 in December 2024 to 8.62, a 23% improvement. Wong has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
