Shihong Min (闵世弘) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.46, set at China Championship 2018, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,446th in China. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2017, he has put 61 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.11 in June 2017 to 10.46, a 61% improvement. Shihong has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
