3×3 · top 6.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2019 · 2019PEIZ01
Zheng Pei (裴拯) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.63, set at Xi'an New Year 2025, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,489th in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2019, he has put 149 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.21 in April 2019 to 9.63, a 37% improvement. Zheng has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
