Kewei Qin (秦可为) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.37, set at China Championship 2018, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,107th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2016, he has put 102 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 4.18 in October 2016 to 2.37, a 43% improvement. Kewei 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.
