Hà Lâm Kiệt
3×3 · top 0.11% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025KIET02
Hà Lâm Kiệt has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.93, set at Arena HCMC Spring 2026, puts him in the top 0.11% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8th in Vietnam. Until November 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2025, he has put 84 official solves on the record across five 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 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.54 in April 2025 to 4.93, a 35% improvement. He has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
