Emma Nguyen

Skewb · top 15.2% of 73,281 all-time · competing since March 2018 · 2018NGUY08

Emma Nguyen has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 4.60, set at Puzzling Pakenham 2019, puts her in the top 15.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 394th in Australia. Across 5 competitions since March 2018, she has put 46 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 24% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her Skewb best has come down from 5.99 in May 2018 to 4.60, a 23% improvement. Emma has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
