3×3 blindfolded · top 7.3% of 12,178 all-time · competing since December 2012 · 2012LIUJ06
Jia-Wei Liu (劉家瑋) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 41.50, set at WCA Asian Championship 2018, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Chinese Taipei. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2012, he has put 40 official solves on the record across five events. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.94 in December 2012 to 13.32, a 16% improvement. He 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.
