Qinghao Zhong (钟庆毫) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.83, set at Guangdong Open 2014, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 572nd in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2013, he has put 110 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 8.74 in December 2013 to 5.12, a 41% improvement. Qinghao has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
