Heng Liao (廖衡) has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.85, set at Taichung Open 2023, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 423rd in Chinese Taipei. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2021, he has put 69 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. Heng 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.
