Qihang Guo (郭启航)
3×3 · top 3.2% of 288,433 all-time · competing since December 2023 · 2023GUOQ01
Qihang Guo (郭启航) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.20, set at Dalian Open 2024, puts him in the top 3.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,193rd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2023, he has put 204 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.01 in December 2023 to 8.20, a 26% improvement. Qihang has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
