3×3 · top 7.5% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018HEJI06
Jinlu He (何金潞) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.99, set at Chengdu Flash Cube Open 2023, puts her in the top 7.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,965th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2018, she has put 87 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 32.58 in April 2018 to 9.99, a 69% improvement. Jinlu 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.
