2×2 · top 1.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024LIJI21
Jiekai Li (李杰凯) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.20, set at Zhuhai Open 2025, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 114th in China. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2024, he has put 158 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.45 in December 2024 to 7.24, a 14% improvement. Jiekai has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
