Jessica Nguyen has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.83, set at Wellington Mind Games 2020, puts her in the top 4.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 275th in Vietnam. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since July 2018, she has put 77 official solves on the record across six events.

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.
