Jie Liu (刘捷)
3×3 blindfolded · top 2.5% of 12,178 all-time · competing since August 2025 · 2025LIUJ18
Jie Liu (刘捷) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 23.82, set at Nanning Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 38th in China. Until June 2013, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2025, he has put 11 official solves on the record across two events. His 3×3 blindfolded best has come down from 1:22.15 in August 2025 to 23.82, a 71% improvement. Jie 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.
