Zihao Gu (顾子豪) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.62, set at Yancheng Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.3% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 125th in China. Until March 2013, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since June 2025, he has put 232 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Zihao has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
