Phạm Anh Quân
Square-1 · top 1.2% of 25,272 all-time · competing since January 2020 · 2020QUAN01
Phạm Anh Quân has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 6.60, set at Hanoi Side Events 2024, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Vietnam. Until May 2017, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2020, he has put 163 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.93 in January 2020 to 7.17, a 28% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
