3×3 one-handed · top 2.6% of 73,695 all-time · competing since February 2025 · 2025HUZE01
Zeliang Hu (胡泽亮) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.68, set at Hefei Open 2025, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 224th in China. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since February 2025, he has put 129 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.62 in February 2025 to 8.29, a 22% improvement. Zeliang has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
