Jen-Ho Liu (劉人赫) has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.95, set at Maru Cube Day 2023, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 279th in Chinese Taipei. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since December 2020, he has put 91 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.12 in December 2020 to 8.95, a 48% improvement. He 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.
