Lee Zheng Xuan
3×3 · top 3.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2016 · 2016XUAN01
Lee Zheng Xuan has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.49, set at Coping in July Singapore 2025, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 103rd in Singapore. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since February 2016, he has put 122 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.11 in February 2016 to 8.49, a 65% improvement. Lee has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
