Hoàng Ngọc Thành

3×3 · top 2.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2015 · 2015THAN05

Hoàng Ngọc Thành has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.63, set at Ha Noi Summer 2022, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 122nd in Vietnam. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2015, he has put 214 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.00 in January 2016 to 7.63, a 31% improvement. He has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
