Clock · top 6.5% of 32,048 all-time · competing since July 2024 · 2024DUYL02
Lê Ngọc Duy has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 5.77, set at Hanoi CSP Open 2026, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 17th in Vietnam. Until December 2011, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2024, he has put 75 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.21 in July 2024 to 14.28, a 29% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
