Phan Thanh Hải has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 35.06, set at Ho Chi Minh City Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 120th in Vietnam. Until October 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2014, he has put 68 official solves on the record across four events.

Phan 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.
