Harold Shi (史英堂)
3×3 · top 7.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024SHIH09
Harold Shi (史英堂) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.90, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 670th in Canada. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2024, he has put 43 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.58 in November 2024 to 9.90, a 56% improvement. Harold has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
