Heng Zhang (张恒) has been competing for 11 months. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 10.45, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 120th in China. Until December 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2025, he has put 76 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 11.73 in October 2025 to 10.45, an 11% improvement. Heng has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
