Nguyễn Ngọc Cường

3×3 · top 9.9% of 288,433 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022CUON03

Nguyễn Ngọc Cường has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.80, set at Hanoi Summer 2023, puts him in the top 9.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 617th in Vietnam. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2022, he has put 40 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.93 in July 2022 to 10.80, a 16% improvement. He has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
