Zhenghao Song (宋政豪) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.10, set at Shijiazhuang Open 2018, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,945th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since November 2016, he has put 274 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 29.60 in November 2016 to 9.10, a 69% improvement. Zhenghao has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
