Nguyễn Đức Minh
3×3 · top 0.89% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2023 · 2023MINH09
Nguyễn Đức Minh has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.54, set at Hanoi Summer 2025, puts him in the top 0.89% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 45th in Vietnam. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since February 2023, he has put 183 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.79 in February 2023 to 6.54, a 16% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
