3×3 one-handed · top 19.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since March 2011 · 2011ZHOU01
Leixin Zhou (周磊欣) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 19.57, set at Xi'an Winter 2013, puts him in the top 19.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,948th in China. Across 9 competitions since March 2011, he has put 64 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 27.19 in March 2011 to 16.15, a 41% improvement. Leixin has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
