Hồ Phú Nhật has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 28.01, set at Vietnam Championship 2024, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Vietnam. Until April 2012, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since February 2023, he has put 119 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 4×4 best has come down from 41.37 in February 2023 to 33.12, a 20% improvement. He has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
