Siteng Li (李斯腾)
3×3 · top 6.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2025 · 2025LISI06
Siteng Li (李斯腾) has been competing for 9 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.53, set at Start of Summer Beijing 2026, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,391st in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2025, he has put 37 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.68 in November 2025 to 9.53, an 11% improvement. Siteng has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
