3×3 · top 1.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023LUZH01
Zhenghan Lü (吕政翰) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.70, set at Shanghai Summer 2026, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 379th in China. Until January 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2023, he has put 141 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.78 in November 2023 to 6.70, a 48% improvement. Zhenghan 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.
