Keane Nguyen has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.98, set at Ontario Championship 2024, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 99th in Canada. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since February 2023, he has put 162 official solves on the record across five 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.
