Nguyễn Hoàng Thiên Vũ
Megaminx · top 1.5% of 35,351 all-time · competing since August 2019 · 2019VUNG02
Nguyễn Hoàng Thiên Vũ has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 39.62, set at Ha Noi Summer 2020, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 35,351 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5th in Vietnam. Until August 2014, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2019, he has put 46 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.75 in August 2019 to 9.56, a 25% improvement. He has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
