Trần Hưng Nghiêm
Pyraminx · top 7.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2012 · 2012NGHI01
Trần Hưng Nghiêm has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.97, set at Ho Chi Minh Open 2013, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 68th in Vietnam. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2012, he has put 138 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.77 in July 2012 to 10.57, a 41% improvement. He 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.
