Hari-Hari Horas 2 2024

Inside the lively atmosphere of Kopi Dari Hati Grand Jati Junction, tables were arranged for an intense day of intellectual sport. Competitors gathered in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia on June 27, 2024, preparing their minds for a rigorous schedule that spanned speed solving and extreme mental stamina. The ambient cafe surroundings served as the backdrop where eleven dedicated solvers gathered to push their limits across three distinct puzzle disciplines, bringing precision and deliberate technique to the fore.

While traditional speed events rely on twitch reflexes and rapid turning, long-form analytical challenges require deep contemplation. Although a typical speedcubing weekend often highlights classic speed events alongside pen-and-paper challenges like Fewest Moves, this specialized schedule put intense cognitive discipline on display through blindfolded endurance. Visualizing complex permutations without sight demands the same methodical analysis and patience, offering a striking counterpoint to the high-velocity events that usually dominate a modern cubing competition.

The 3x3x3 Multi-Blind event proved to be a masterclass in memorization and spatial recall, drawing six ambitious contenders. Yucheng Chen from China captured the top spot on the podium with a remarkable single of 44/59 solved within the exact 1:00:00 time limit. Balancing high volume with calculated risk, Chen navigated dozens of cubes entirely from memory, securing the victory in one of the most mentally taxing events in the sport.

The multi-cube discipline also saw outstanding performances from regional rivals across Southeast Asia. Ng Jia Quan of Malaysia delivered a flawless display, registering 19 out of 19 cubes solved in 56:16 to secure second place overall. Indonesia’s Firstian Fushada took third place on the podium with 17 out of 21 cubes in 54:33. Other notable completions included Lim Chun Yik with a perfect 8/8 in 47:11, Wong Chong Wen with 9/10 in 57:55, and Eng Dickson managing 9/12 in 1:00:00.

The competitive narrative shifted rapidly from silent memory work to frantic finger execution during the 4x4x4 Cube event. Eleven participants took to the stations, but Firstian Fushada stood above the field on home soil. Fushada posted a winning average of 27.78 seconds, aided by the single fastest solve of the competition at 24.64 seconds. His swift parity execution and edge pairing set a benchmark that remained unchallenged across the single round of play.

Chasing the Indonesian leader, Ng Jia Quan earned the silver medal in the 4x4x4 Cube with an average of 31.36 seconds and a best single of 27.62 seconds. Wong Chong Wen of Singapore rounded out the top three by claiming bronze with an average of 32.18 seconds, having notched a best single of 28.65 seconds. Close behind on the leaderboard, Wilson Alvis of Indonesia achieved fourth place with a 32.21 average and a single of 29.10.

Away from the top steps of the podium, several competitors achieved remarkable milestones that highlighted personal dedication. Muhammad Ammar Naufal delivered one of the day’s most impressive breakthroughs in the 4x4x4 Cube, setting a new personal best single of 1:22.81, which was 30.5 percent faster than his prior mark of 1:59.22 on his way to an 11th-place finish. Farrel Enzo Tanaputra took on two events and recorded a personal best of 3.63 seconds in Skewb, improving by 4.7 percent to earn a strong 4th-place result. Justin Lawrence also tackled two events, locking in a personal best single of 4.63 seconds in Skewb while earning 7th place in the 4x4x4 Cube.

The Skewb event concluded the action across two thrilling rounds featuring nine competitors. Eng Dickson of Malaysia took the title with a commanding winning average of 3.40 seconds in the final round, having also set the tournament’s best single at 2.64 seconds. Firstian Fushada grabbed the silver position with an average of 3.91 seconds, while Ng Jia Quan secured his third podium of the meet by finishing third with a 4.44 average.

Across four rounds of intense competition, the international gathering distributed honors across four nations, with Malaysia securing four podium finishes, Indonesia earning three, and China and Singapore claiming one each. As Hari-Hari Horas 2 2024 concluded, fans looking over the broader landscape of Rubik's Cube challenges and speed cubing records noted how this WCA competition delivered world-class blindfolded feats alongside thrilling mechanical races, leaving participants ready to carry these strong 3x3 results and multi-layer benchmarks into the remainder of the season.
