Đinh Quốc Minh

3×3 · top 4.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024MINH09

Đinh Quốc Minh has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.98, set at Hanoi Summer 2025, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 302nd in Vietnam. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since July 2024, he has put 27 official solves on the record across four events. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.48 in July 2024 to 8.98, a 22% improvement. He has entered two competitions.

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.
