Hongyuan Fu (傅泓源) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.32, set at Shenyang Spring 2024, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 168th in China. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 97 competitions since October 2017, he has put 3,060 official solves on the record across 15 events.

Best single per competition, 2×2. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
