Jinshi Li (李金泽)

3×3 · top 2.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017LIJI14

Jinshi Li (李金泽) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.80, set at Zhongshan Children's Cube Day 2019, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 884th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since June 2017, he has put 213 official solves on the record across one event. 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 18.13 in June 2017 to 7.80, a 57% improvement. Jinshi has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
