Phạm Đăng Khoa has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.72, set at HCMC Cubing Autumn 2024, puts him in the top 0.069% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Vietnam.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.47 in November 2022 to 4.72, a 50% 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.
