Đặng Anh Kiên
3×3 · top 4.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018KIEN03
Đặng Anh Kiên has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.63, set at Ha Noi Summer 2022, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 239th in Vietnam. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2018, he has put 137 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.21 in August 2018 to 8.63, a 23% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
