2×2 · top 4.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since September 2025 · 2025NANG01
Nguyễn Vũ Năng has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.88, set at Hanoi CSP Open 2026, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 62nd in Vietnam. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since September 2025, he has put 157 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.05 in September 2025 to 1.88, a 38% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
