Huston Vu-Duc has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.05, set at Muffin Winter 2017, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 82nd in Russia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since February 2017, he has put 584 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 23.48 in February 2017 to 8.66, a 63% improvement. Huston has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
