3×3 · top 6.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015TUHU01
Hua Tu (涂画) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.52, set at Shenzhen Open 2017, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,378th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2015, he has put 27 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.14 in October 2015 to 9.52, a 41% improvement. Hua has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
