Taipei Summer Be Quiet 2025

Four distinct memory events and six competitive rounds greeted the 32 competitors who gathered on June 27, 2025, for a specialized showcase of concentration. The Everrich Taipei Downtown Store in Neihu hosted the gathering in Taipei, Taiwan, challenging entrants across an expansive technical range. Rather than standard speed cubing formats, the schedule delivered a pure test of recall across classic 3x3s, larger cubes, and massive multi-cube attempts. The unique lineup drew participants from multiple delegations to test their mental endurance across every tier of the discipline.

The 3x3x3 Blindfolded division served as the most heavily attended event of the weekend, pulling together 31 competitors across three intense stages of elimination. Theodore Chan of Singapore captured the top spot on the podium with a decisive winning average of 23.62, bolstered by a best single of 18.39 seconds. Chih-Chuan Yang of Taiwan claimed second place with a time of 24.11, while Jia-Hong Lu took third with 25.73. These standout 3x3 results demonstrated exceptional poise under strict time limits.

The challenges diversified significantly as competitors moved on to the bigger cubes, where internal parity errors and higher piece counts demand exhaustive calculation. In the 4x4x4 Blindfolded event, Theodore Chan secured another title with a winning single time of 2:19.57. Taiwan representative Wayne Pi earned second place by completing his solve in 5:13.23, while Shun-Hsin Chang took third with a time of 8:02.45 among a starting field of 15 participants.

The complexity multiplied further in 5x5x5 Blindfolded, requiring competitors to track dozens of center pieces and edge wings entirely from memory. Theodore Chan completed a sweep of the individual blindfolded events, locking in first place with a single of 5:56.10. Wayne Pi recorded a mark of 10:51.00 for second place, and Japan competitor Takuma Shirahase took the third step on the podium with a registered single of 16:58.00 in the 10-person field.

The ultimate endurance test of the meeting arrived with the 3x3x3 Multi-Blind, where participants memorized banks of multiple puzzles simultaneously before donning blindfolds. Wayne Pi delivered an outstanding performance to win the event, successfully solving 20 out of 24 cubes within a time of 59:56. Theodore Chan claimed second place with 18 out of 29 cubes in 1:00:00, while Takuma Shirahase finished third by logging 7 out of 8 solved puzzles in 52:46.

Away from the top of the podium, several participants made substantial leaps on the official leaderboards during this WCA competition. Li-Chen Lin made a massive jump in the 3x3x3 Blindfolded event, cutting his personal best by 53.9 percent from 59.74 seconds down to 27.57 to secure a 4th-place finish across 2 entered events. Yun-Zhe Wu improved his personal best by 43 percent from 2:15.24 down to 1:17.05 to place 9th, while Po-Jui Huang shaved 37.6 percent off his record with a 4:02.36 single. Shao-Yu Hu also advanced significantly, bringing his personal best from 3:55.14 down to 2:30.79, an improvement of 35.9 percent.

Other competitors took on brand-new territory across the weekend schedule, navigating unfamiliar formats with impressive poise. Andy Kuo tackled his first ever attempt at 3x3x3 Blindfolded, logging a time of 1:11.65 to take 7th place overall. Wei-Zhi Lu also completed a first official attempt in the event, registering a successful solve of 5:50.76. Meanwhile, Yu-Chi Hou contested 3 events during the tournament, recording a personal best of 1:20.59 in 3x3x3 Blindfolded by improving 9.7 percent, alongside taking on a first ever attempt at 4x4x4 Blindfolded to finish 5th with a time of 22:21.00.

Overall podium finishes across the meet highlighted the international character of the gathering, with host territory Taiwan claiming six top-three positions, Singapore taking four, and Japan earning two. As an official cubing competition dedicated exclusively to non-visual solving, the event pushed speedcubing fundamentals to their absolute limit. Every participant had to trust spatial recall and precise finger movement without visual feedback, navigating the Rubik's Cube across various sizes and formats.

The successful completion of Taipei Summer Be Quiet 2025 demonstrated the immense skill required across diverse blindfolded disciplines. From single-cube sprint solves to multi-cube hour-long marathons, the tournament tested memory endurance from every possible angle in Neihu. With three titles going to Theodore Chan and a Multi-Blind triumph for Wayne Pi, the gathering provided a definitive benchmark for high-level blindfolded solving in the region.

在2025年6月27日舉行的Taipei Summer Be Quiet 2025賽事中，來自新加坡的Theodore Chan在五階盲擰項目以5分56秒10的驚人成績奪冠。高階盲擰魔術方塊不僅考驗選手繁瑣的記憶編碼，更極度消耗體力與專注度，這場在台北內湖昇恆昌旗艦店登場的極限挑戰，為整場賽事奠定了高難度的競技基調。

這場在Taipei, Taiwan舉辦的WCA competition吸引了32名頂尖好手參與，共設有4個盲擰相關項目與6輪對決。在五階盲擰領銜的漫長博弈中，選手必須在黑暗中單憑雙手與大腦重構龐大的方塊結構，台灣選手Wayne Pi以10分51秒00獲得亞軍，日本選手Takuma Shirahase（白波瀬拓磨）則以16分58秒00名列第三。

高階盲擰的另一戰場四階盲擰同樣考驗選手的大腦極限。Theodore Chan再度以2分19秒57的單次成績奪下四階盲擰金牌，展現了在多階盲擰領域的全面統治力。Wayne Pi以5分13秒23收穫第二名，Shun-Hsin Chang（張舜欣）則以8分02秒45站上頒獎台第三位。

除高階盲擰之外，多顆盲擰項目更是意志力與耐力的巔峰對抗。台灣好手Wayne Pi在59分56秒的極限時間內成功復原20顆方塊（20/24），摘下多顆盲擰桂冠。Theodore Chan則以60分鐘內完成18顆（18/29）位居次席，日本的Takuma Shirahase（白波瀬拓磨）以52分46秒復原7顆（7/8）拿下季軍。

在選手眾多的三階盲擰賽場上，Theodore Chan於決賽中以23.62秒的平均成績斬獲個人本屆賽事的第三座冠軍，其最佳單次成績更達到18.39秒。台灣選手Chih-Chuan Yang（楊智全）以24.11秒緊隨其後獲得亞軍，Jia-Hong Lu（陸嘉宏）則以25.73秒奪得季軍。

在成績榜之外，Taipei Summer Be Quiet 2025同樣見證了許多選手的重大個人突破。Po-Hsien Lai（賴柏憲）在三階盲擰中繳出1分12秒65的個人最佳成績，較以往進步了37.7%並取得第8名；首度參加WCA賽事的Tun-Chih Hsu（許惇智）首次嘗試多顆盲擰便繳出2/2且用時11分52秒的佳績，並在三階盲擰寫下3分47秒10的初登板紀錄；同樣迎來生涯首場比賽的Cheng-Yen Tsai（蔡承諺）首次挑戰多顆盲擰即以21分38秒完成2/3，獲得第8名；Tzu-Heng Lin（林子恆）完成了生涯首次四階盲擰嘗試，以34分12秒00名列第8。

這場速解魔術方塊盛會也記錄了更多堅持的身影。Fang-Ru Yu（余芳儒）出戰兩項賽事，在多顆盲擰獲得第13名並在三階盲擰刷新個人最佳至4分10秒65；Kuan-Ying Li（李冠穎）全勤參加全部4個項目，在五階盲擰拿下第4名並於三階盲擰創下2分49秒91的個人新紀錄；Meng Chon Kuok（郭明臻）專注出戰四階盲擰，最終收穫第9名。

這場集結了各路盲擰專家的cubing competition圓滿落幕，台灣選手合計奪下6座獎台席次，新加坡與日本分別斬獲4座及2座。Taipei Summer Be Quiet 2025不僅展現了高階與多顆盲擰的非凡耐力要求，也為2025年盲擰速解留下了一幕幕精彩的專注時刻。
