Albert Nguyen

Pyraminx · top 41.7% of 129,321 all-time · competing since December 2023 · 2023NGUY64

Albert Nguyen has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 8.64, set at UCSD Maybe 2025, puts him in the top 41.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11,954th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since December 2023, he has put 39 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 47.16 in December 2023 to 31.98, a 32% improvement. Albert has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
