Nghiem Nguyen
3×3 one-handed · top 7.8% of 73,695 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022NGUY05
Nghiem Nguyen has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.85, set at Australian Nationals 2023, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 182nd in Australia. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2022, he has put 90 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.55 in April 2022 to 10.99, a 19% improvement. Nghiem 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.
