Nguyễn Ngọc Huy
2×2 · top 4.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023HUYN11
Nguyễn Ngọc Huy has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.95, set at Hanoi Summer 2025, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 65th in Vietnam. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2023, he has put 72 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 2×2 best has come down from 5.35 in July 2023 to 1.95, a 64% improvement. He has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
