Shenghe Ma (马省鹤) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.71, set at Tianjin Winter 2012, puts him in the top 12.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,093rd in China. Across 5 competitions since August 2010, he has put 119 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.41 in August 2010 to 11.71, a 33% improvement. Shenghe has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
