Hari-Hari Horas 8 2024

When the margins tighten, disciplined speedcubing execution proves decisive over isolated bursts of pace. At Hari-Hari Horas 8 2024, Firstian Fushada delivered a masterclass in stability to capture the 3x3x3 One-Handed title, pairing the event best single of 9.32 seconds with a commanding winning average of 13.01 seconds. Held at Kopi Dari Hati Grand Jati Junction in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia on July 3, 2024, the gathering demonstrated how sustained composure separates champions from the chasing pack.

The 3x3x3 One-Handed event drew all 10 competitors into a tense single round where consistency dictated the standings. Following Firstian Fushada, Ng Jia Quan locked down second place with a steady 13.89 average and an 11.57 single. Lim Chun Yik completed the podium in third, logging an average of 15.28 alongside a 13.85 single. The tightly bunched 3x3 results underlined how stringing together five solid solves mattered far more than relying on a solitary fast scramble.

Big cube mastery demanded sustained endurance, and the 7x7x7 Cube contest rewarded unwavering rhythm across two intense rounds. Lim Hung secured top honours by averaging 1:59.06 in the final, complemented by the competition benchmark single of 1:51.00. Firstian Fushada took second place with an average of 2:14.70 and a best single of 2:10.15, while Ng Jia Quan claimed third position with an average of 2:36.00 after recording a 2:27.79 best effort during the round.

In the 4x4x4 Blindfolded discipline, mental stamina proved paramount as competitors grappled with memorisation and blind execution without room for error. Ng Jia Quan took the victory with a successful solve of 3:23.94, outlasting the field where completions were exceptionally rare. Firstian Fushada earned second place with a time of 4:05.26, while the remaining contenders bowed out without logging a successful result, leaving the top two as the only finishers to record valid times.

Away from the top of the podium, dedicated speed cubing contenders brought grit to their selected events. Justin Lawrence entered 3x3x3 One-Handed and navigated the round to earn an 8th-place finish behind a 16.51 single and a 20.83 average across his five solves. Meanwhile, Angeline Wijaya took on two distinct disciplines, securing a best finish of 6th place in the 7x7x7 Cube with an opening round single of 4:10.36 alongside her participation in the one-handed challenge.

The single-day WCA competition showcased international depth despite the boutique field size, distributing 13 podium spots across three nations. Competitors from Malaysia accumulated 9 podium finishes across the three events, while host nation Indonesia secured 3 top-three finishes, and Singapore collected 1 podium result. The range of events, spanning specialised blindfold memory tests, one-handed execution, and massive layer management, challenged every facet of modern mechanical puzzle solving.

Across the four total rounds staged throughout the day, the battle for precision remained intense among the ten entrants. Lim Hung and Wong Chong Wen rounded out the upper half of the one-handed table with averages of 15.71 and 15.68 respectively, demonstrating the narrow gaps separating competitor averages. Every solve counted directly toward the final ledger, leaving no room for erratic form or costly handling mistakes on the tables.

As the schedule concluded at Kopi Dari Hati Grand Jati Junction, Hari-Hari Horas 8 2024 reaffirmed that methodical precision remains the ultimate asset in speedcubing. Firstian Fushada, Lim Hung, and Ng Jia Quan walked away with titles earned through calculated, repeatable execution rather than volatile pace. The meeting brought another compelling chapter of competition to Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia as competitors prepare their Rubik's Cube routines for the ongoing 2024 circuit.
