3×3 · top 8.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2021 · 2021VUTR01
Trey Vu has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.26, set at UCSD Extravaganza 2023, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,532nd in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since December 2021, he has put 160 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.25 in December 2021 to 10.26, a 28% improvement. Trey has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
