Jianyang Teng (滕剑阳)

2×2 · top 3.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016TENG03

Jianyang Teng (滕剑阳) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.70, set at Kunshan Open 2019, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 389th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2016, he has put 133 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.14 in November 2016 to 1.70, a 76% improvement. Jianyang has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
