3×3 · top 2.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2010 · 2010LIBO01
Bo Li (李博) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.69, set at Yunnan Open 2015, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 814th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since July 2010, he has put 189 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.22 in July 2010 to 7.69, a 37% improvement. Bo has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
