2×2 · top 29.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017XUJI04
Jianping Xu (许健平) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.25, set at Zhongshan Children's Cube Day 2019, puts him in the top 29.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,075th in China. Across 5 competitions since October 2017, he has put 38 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.97 in October 2017 to 24.55, a 26% improvement. Jianping 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.
