Jianwei Liu (刘建炜) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.01, set at Cross-strait Cubing Exchange 2016, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 910th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2014, he has put 138 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.00 in October 2014 to 11.93, a 20% improvement. Jianwei has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
