Junjie Xie (谢俊杰)
Skewb · top 10.0% of 73,281 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024XIEJ03
Junjie Xie (谢俊杰) has been competing for a year. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.86, set at Hefei Open 2025, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 588th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2024, he has put 40 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.08 in December 2024 to 10.85, a 23% improvement. Junjie has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
