Jiale Liu (柳嘉乐)

3×3 · top 2.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2019 · 2019LIUJ37

Jiale Liu (柳嘉乐) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.73, set at Beijing Spring PM 2021, puts him in the top 2.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 843rd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2019, he has put 35 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.06 in December 2019 to 7.73, a 57% improvement. Jiale has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
