Dingze He (何定泽) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.02, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,017th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2013, he has put 180 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.00 in July 2013 to 8.02, a 38% improvement. Dingze has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
