Pengcheng Hu (户鹏程) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.18, set at Shijiazhuang Open 2018, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 90th in China. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since May 2017, he has put 308 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 4.85 in November 2017 to 2.18, a 55% improvement. Pengcheng has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
