Hao Zhang (张昊) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.87, set at Adelaide Summer 2019, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 530th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 48 competitions since May 2010, he has put 1,179 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.00 in May 2010 to 8.83, a 45% improvement. Hao has entered 48 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
