3×3 · top 2.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2010 · 2010NGUY13
Hong Quan Nguyen has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.50, set at Ho Chi Minh City Open 2017, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 106th in Vietnam. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2010, he has put 57 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.80 in August 2010 to 7.50, a 31% improvement. Hong has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
