Vũ Nguyên Khôi

3×3 one-handed · top 3.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since March 2014 · 2014KHOI01

Vũ Nguyên Khôi has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.28, set at Ha Noi Cube Day 2016, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 52nd in Vietnam. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2014, he has put 92 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 18.05 in March 2014 to 12.28, a 32% improvement. He has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
