Shijie Peng (彭世杰) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.37, set at Guangdong Open - Revival & Rival 2026, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,296th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2019, he has put 181 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.87 in March 2019 to 8.37, a 50% improvement. Shijie has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
