Thaddeus Vo
3×3 · top 9.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017VOTH01
Thaddeus Vo has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.59, set at Vancouver Open Winter 2018, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 851st in Canada. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since January 2017, he has put 61 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.63 in January 2017 to 10.59, a 62% improvement. Thaddeus has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
