Jialei Hu (胡佳磊) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.98, set at Xianyang Open 2019, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 994th in China.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.32 in October 2017 to 7.98, a 40% improvement. Jialei has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
