Nam Quoc Nguyen has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.09, set at Quintilian Cube-Off 2023, puts him in the top 15.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,191st in Australia. Across 11 competitions since October 2021, he has put 247 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 22.13 in October 2021 to 3.09, an 86% improvement. Nam has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
