Heshuo Zhou (周和烁) has been competing for 8 years.

Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2018, he has put 29 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.70 in November 2018 to 9.22, a 14% improvement. Heshuo 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.
