Daniel Tran has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.17, set at Tampere 2023, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 108th in Finland. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2022, he has put 174 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.76 in April 2022 to 10.17, a 46% improvement. Daniel 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.
