2×2 · top 24.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024LIUH03
Harvie Liu has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.83, set at Puzzling Pakenham Saturday 2025, puts him in the top 24.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,878th in Australia. Across 7 competitions since March 2024, he has put 84 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 44.74 in March 2024 to 15.63, a 65% improvement. Harvie has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
