Ninh Nguyễn Phạm Tuân

3×3 · top 6.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018TUAN03

Ninh Nguyễn Phạm Tuân has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.61, set at Hanoi Open 2022, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 403rd in Vietnam. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since August 2018, he has put 285 official solves on the record across eight 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 12.63 in August 2018 to 9.61, a 24% improvement. Ninh has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
