Zherui Zhou (周哲瑞)
3×3 · top 6.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016ZHOU32
Zherui Zhou (周哲瑞) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.62, set at Beijing Summer 2018, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,481st in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2016, he has put 28 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.64 in October 2016 to 9.62, a 42% improvement. Zherui has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
