Telmuun Nergui
Square-1 · top 2.3% of 25,272 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022NERG01
Telmuun Nergui has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 7.48, set at Mongolian Championship 2025, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in Mongolia. Until November 2013, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2022, he has put 285 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.13 in October 2022 to 2.59, a 58% improvement. Telmuun has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
