Chia-Hsin Li (黎佳鑫) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.94, set at Taipei Open 2011, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 435th in Chinese Taipei. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2010, he has put 114 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.21 in August 2010 to 9.94, a 39% improvement. He has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
