2×2 · top 5.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025SUNH02

Hanzhe Sun (孙瀚哲) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.05, set at Zibo Open 2025, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 705th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2025, he has put 81 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.45 in April 2025 to 12.80, a 43% improvement. Hanzhe has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
