Shenghai Fang (方胜海) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.76, set at Hangzhou Open 2018, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 338th in China. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 74 competitions since March 2016, he has put 2,066 official solves on the record across 17 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.55 in March 2016 to 10.07, a 35% improvement. Shenghai has entered 74 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
