Minglang Guo (郭明朗) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 50.04, set at Qianjiang Summer Open 2018, puts him in the top 86.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,336th in Hong Kong, China. Across 6 competitions since April 2017, he has put 33 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:10.94 in April 2017 to 50.04, a 29% improvement. Minglang has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
