Qianhang Hu (胡千航)
3×3 · top 4.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015HUQI02
Qianhang Hu (胡千航) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.73, set at Longyan Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,618th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2015, he has put 58 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% 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 12.52 in May 2015 to 8.73, a 30% improvement. Qianhang has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
