Pengcheng Li (栗鹏程) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.94, set at Beijing Only 3x3 2025, puts him in the top 0.45% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 176th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2024, he has put 172 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 6.85 in June 2024 to 5.94, a 13% improvement. Pengcheng has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
