Pengle Li (李鹏乐)
3×3 · top 8.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2024 · 2024LIPE01
Pengle Li (李鹏乐) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.42, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2026, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,399th in China. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2024, he has put 72 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% 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 12.91 in June 2024 to 10.42, a 19% improvement. Pengle has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
