Jerry Liu has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.45, set at Chiawana Cubing 2018, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,310th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2015, he has put 105 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.44 in January 2015 to 9.45, a 43% improvement. Jerry 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.
