Jhong-Ci Chen (陳仲麒)

2×2 · top 0.33% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2015 · 2015CHEJ02

Jhong-Ci Chen (陳仲麒) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.87, set at Kaohsiung Open 2016, puts him in the top 0.33% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6th in Chinese Taipei. Until November 2011, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2015, he has put 353 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.39 in December 2015 to 8.80, a 46% improvement. He has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
