Jinlong Zeng (曾锦龙)

3×3 · top 17.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2014 · 2014ZENG05

Jinlong Zeng (曾锦龙) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 13.01, set at Cross-strait Cubing Exchange 2016, puts him in the top 17.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,842nd in China. Across 5 competitions since July 2014, he has put 46 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.28 in July 2014 to 13.01, a 46% improvement. Jinlong has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
