Zihan Meng (孟子涵) has been competing for 4 months. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 34.41, set at Beijing Autumn Begins 2026, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in China. Until February 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2026, he has put 25 official solves on the record across three events. Zihan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
