Hoàng Khang Minh

3×3 · top 0.48% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018MINH16

Hoàng Khang Minh has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.00, set at Hanoi Winter 2024, puts him in the top 0.48% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26th in Vietnam. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2018, he has put 204 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.02 in August 2018 to 6.00, a 33% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
