Jingxiang Zhou (周靖翔)

3×3 · top 8.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2019 · 2019ZHOU70

Jingxiang Zhou (周靖翔) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.44, set at Shenyang Autumn 2025, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,419th in China. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since October 2019, he has put 173 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.78 in October 2019 to 10.44, a 24% improvement. Jingxiang has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
