Junyuan Hu (胡珺榞)
3×3 · top 5.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2019 · 2019HUJU03
Junyuan Hu (胡珺榞) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.06, set at Zibo Open 2025, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,909th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2019, he has put 85 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.02 in November 2019 to 9.06, a 47% improvement. Junyuan 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.
