2×2 · top 13.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since January 2016 · 2016NGUY05
Brandon Nguyen has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.94, set at Canadian Open 2017, puts him in the top 13.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 911th in Canada. Across 10 competitions since January 2016, he has put 162 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 45.30 in January 2016 to 19.09, a 58% improvement. Brandon has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
