Lê Thủy Triều

3×3 · top 4.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018TRIE03

Lê Thủy Triều has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.62, set at Hanoi Summer 2023, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 236th in Vietnam. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2018, he has put 120 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.68 in August 2018 to 8.62, a 26% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
