Khantushig Tsengel
3×3 · top 9.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022TSEN02
Khantushig Tsengel has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.77, set at Bayanzurkh Cup 2026, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 110th in Mongolia. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2022, he has put 218 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 12.76 in May 2022 to 2.62, a 79% improvement. Khantushig has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
