Meng Li (李萌) has been competing for a year.

Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2025, he has put 58 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.64 in August 2025 to 10.78, a 15% improvement. Meng has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
