Trang Bảo Minh

3×3 · top 0.43% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2018 · 2018MINH22

Trang Bảo Minh has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.90, set at HCMC Pro League 2019, puts him in the top 0.43% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Vietnam. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2018, he has put 240 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.86 in August 2018 to 5.90, a 33% improvement. Trang has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
