Zhuo Zhang (张卓) has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.13, set at Hefei Winter Open 2023, puts him in the top 0.57% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 210th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since January 2021, he has put 115 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 62% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.01 in January 2021 to 6.13, a 23% improvement. Zhuo has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
