Pyraminx · top 2.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017ZHUZ01

Zheqi Zhu (诸哲祺) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.51, set at Wakefield Autumn 2022, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 268th in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 40 competitions since April 2017, he has put 891 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.38 in April 2017 to 8.48, a 51% improvement. Zheqi has entered 40 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
