Zhongyu Zheng (郑仲宇) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 30.22, set at Beijing Autumn Rivalry 2026, puts him in the top 0.23% of the 35,351 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in China. Until June 2017, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since October 2017, he has put 335 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 61% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.00 in October 2017 to 8.37, a 44% improvement. Zhongyu 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.
