Lê Đức Thịnh has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.97, set at Ho Chi Minh City Warm Up 2022, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 299th in Vietnam. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since August 2017, he has put 102 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 19.24 in August 2017 to 8.97, a 53% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
