Cenyi Xu (徐岑逸)
3×3 · top 6.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2025 · 2025XUCE01
Cenyi Xu (徐岑逸) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.79, set at Chengdu Welcoming Summer 2026, puts him in the top 6.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,681st in China. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2025, he has put 83 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.80 in January 2025 to 9.79, a 38% improvement. Cenyi has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
