Xinghao Zheng (郑星浩)
3×3 · top 6.6% of 288,433 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017ZHEN05
Xinghao Zheng (郑星浩) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.65, set at Guangdong Open 2021, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,580th in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since March 2017, he has put 138 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 67% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.38 in March 2017 to 9.65, a 50% improvement. Xinghao has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
