Honghao Chen Li
2×2 · top 6.4% of 189,179 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016LIHO02
Honghao Chen Li has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.22, set at Acho Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 257th in Spain. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2016, he has put 183 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 60% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.39 in October 2016 to 2.22, a 65% improvement. Honghao has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
