Mingqi Guo (郭洺岐) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.44, set at Shenzhen Cubing 10th Anniversary 2019, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,294th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2017, he has put 90 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.96 in April 2017 to 9.44, a 41% improvement. Mingqi has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
