Hari-Hari Horas 5: Horas FMC Samosir 2024

Twenty-one moves per attempt stood as the winning standard on June 30, 2024, illustrating the razor-thin margins that define mean-of-3 solving formats. At Hari-Hari Horas 5: Horas FMC Samosir 2024, held at the Horas Family House in Samosir, North Sumatra, Indonesia, competitors faced a challenging schedule where every single turn carried immense weight. Across both 3x3x3 Fewest Moves and the massive 6x6x6 Cube, the format offered no dropped solves or safety nets, demanding absolute consistency from the very first rotation to the final lockup.

Unlike traditional average-of-five rounds where a competitor can discard their worst performance, mean-of-3 disciplines severely punish a single lapse in focus. A solitary misturn or an uncompleted solve immediately leads to a Did Not Finish result on the overall scorecard, erasing any prior success. The assembled contingent in Samosir navigated this unforgiving environment across two demanding disciplines, proving their stamina and technical control in an intense single-day cubing competition.

Singapore solver Wong Chong Wen delivered a clinic in efficiency during the 3x3x3 Fewest Moves event, capturing first place with a stunning 21.00 mean. Wong Chong Wen opened the discipline with a single solve of just 20 moves, the best individual effort of the entire tournament, before backing it up across the remaining attempts to seal the title. His performance established the benchmark for the discipline and held off a determined chasing pack of international competitors looking to unseat him.

Malaysia occupied the remaining podium steps in the Fewest Moves discipline through disciplined, calculated turn counts. Lim Chun Yik secured the silver medal with a strong 26.00 mean, bolstered by a best single of 22 moves. Right behind him, compatriot Ng Jia Quan claimed third place with a 26.33 mean and an individual low solve of 24 moves. The demanding nature of this Rubik's Cube variant was on full display throughout the field, where several seasoned solvers unfortunately suffered incomplete averages despite securing sub-30 singles.

In the hardware-intensive 6x6x6 Cube, Lim Hung of Malaysia produced a commanding display of speedcubing prowess to top the standings. Facing ten contenders, Lim Hung posted a winning mean of 1:21.97, highlighted by a blistering best single time of 1:14.55. The rapid turning on the big cube demanded both mechanical precision and rapid spatial recognition, proving that speed cubing at the highest levels requires flawless execution across all six layers without encountering hardware catches.

The 6x6x6 podium was rounded out by competitors who demonstrated remarkable control across the three consecutive solves. Firstian Fushada of Indonesia delivered an impressive performance on home soil to take second place with a 1:27.26 mean, delivering reliable consistency throughout the round. Malaysia solver Ivan Lew Yi Wen captured the bronze medal by recording a 1:50.67 mean, successfully navigating the physical demands of big-cube solving to lock down a top-three finish for the traveling delegation.

Beyond the podium battles, the gathering offered meaningful milestones for seasoned competitors working through the rigorous schedule. Bryan Gan Tze Yang took on two events during the weekend, navigating the tactical demands of 3x3x3 Fewest Moves to claim a best finish of 7th place while recording a single solve of 29 moves. Meanwhile, Wang Junwen entered the Fewest Moves discipline and earned a 9th-place finish, putting together a single effort of 44 moves as both solvers added another hard-fought chapter to their extensive tournament journeys.

With eleven total competitors representing three nations, Hari-Hari Horas 5: Horas FMC Samosir 2024 delivered high drama across its two specialized rounds. Malaysia led the overall medal haul with four total podium placements, while Singapore and Indonesia each earned one. The focused gathering demonstrated the mental toughness required in disciplines where perfection is required on every attempt, providing a memorable showcase of analytical and mechanical talent that sets a strong foundation heading into the next competitive season.
