Chaoxu Zhang (张朝旭) has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 18.21, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2012, puts him in the top 34.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12,393rd in China. Across 12 competitions since June 2009, he has put 68 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 52.11 in June 2009 to 18.21, a 65% improvement. Chaoxu has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
