Zanda Zhang (张赞达) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.62, set at Nanjing Autumn 2017, puts him in the top 12.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,969th in China. Across 12 competitions since September 2017, he has put 128 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.54 in September 2017 to 11.62, a 46% improvement. Zanda has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
