Mingde Li (李明德) has been competing for 7 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.36, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,338th in China. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since February 2026, he has put 27 official solves on the record across three events. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.76 in February 2026 to 3.14, a 16% improvement. Mingde has entered two 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.
