Haokun Li (李皓琨) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.84, set at Wuxi Open 2015, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,728th in China. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2013, he has put 138 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.08 in April 2013 to 9.84, a 25% improvement. Haokun 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.
