Shuqun Zhang (张树群) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 8.35, set at Shenzhen Open 2017, puts him in the top 43.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,582nd in China. Across 6 competitions since March 2017, he has put 70 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.13 in March 2017 to 21.66, a 37% improvement. Shuqun has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
