Boxuan Li (黎柏轩)
3×3 · top 1.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024LIBO03
Boxuan Li (黎柏轩) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.33, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 631st in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2024, he has put 180 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.38 in December 2024 to 7.33, a 36% improvement. Boxuan 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.
