Nguyễn Nhật Trường
3×3 · top 3.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016TRUO06
Nguyễn Nhật Trường has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.25, set at Vietnam Championship 2023, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 181st in Vietnam. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2016, he has put 188 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.98 in March 2016 to 8.25, a 45% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
