Boqing Li (李柏青)

2×2 · top 8.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018LIBO02

Boqing Li (李柏青) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.48, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2019, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,285th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2018, he has put 45 official solves on the record across two events. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.17 in April 2018 to 2.48, a 65% improvement. Boqing has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
