3×3 · top 4.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023PHUL01
Lê Thiên Phú has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.02, set at HCMC Cubing Autumn 2024, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 304th in Vietnam. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2023, he has put 40 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.40 in July 2023 to 9.02, a 27% improvement. He has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
