Haifeng Huang (黄海峰)

3×3 · top 6.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016HUAN37

Haifeng Huang (黄海峰) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.51, set at Shenzhen Cubing 10th Anniversary 2019, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,368th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2016, he has put 215 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.71 in August 2016 to 9.51, a 35% improvement. Haifeng has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
