2×2 · top 24.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022VURO01
Roland Vu has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.81, set at West Melbourne Open 2026, puts him in the top 24.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,850th in Australia. Across 7 competitions since August 2022, he has put 132 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.30 in August 2022 to 15.92, an 18% improvement. Roland has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
