Zibo Peng (彭梓博) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.45, set at Beijing Autumn Rivalry 2026, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 224th in China. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since October 2025, he has put 177 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.11 in October 2025 to 9.95, a 45% improvement. Zibo has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
