3×3 one-handed · top 9.8% of 73,695 all-time · competing since June 2016 · 2016DUHA01

Hao Du (杜昊) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 15.80, set at Taiyuan Open 2017, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 947th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since June 2016, he has put 44 official solves on the record across five events. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.74 in June 2016 to 11.40, an 11% improvement. Hao has entered two competitions.

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.
