Qingwei Deng (邓庆威)

3×3 · top 8.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017DENG03

Qingwei Deng (邓庆威) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.31, set at Guangdong Open - Revival & Rival 2026, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,288th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2017, he has put 142 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.52 in March 2017 to 10.31, a 50% improvement. Qingwei has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
