3×3 · top 0.69% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024THIN01
Bùi Tiến Thịnh has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.30, set at Aeon Mall Long Bien 2024, puts him in the top 0.69% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 37th in Vietnam. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2024, he has put 103 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.77 in January 2024 to 6.30, a 46% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
