3×3 · top 1.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2025 · 2025LIHO01
Hongyu Li (李泓谕) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.78, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts her in the top 1.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 401st in China. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2025, she has put 84 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Hongyu 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.
