3×3 · top 16.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015LIUH03
Hao Liu (刘浩) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.82, set at Lanzhou Open 2018, puts him in the top 16.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,592nd in China. Across 8 competitions since May 2015, he has put 67 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.46 in May 2015 to 12.82, a 17% improvement. Hao has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
