Lijie Jin (金利杰)
3×3 one-handed · top 8.2% of 73,695 all-time · competing since August 2011 · 2011JINL02
Lijie Jin (金利杰) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 15.04, set at Zhejiang University Open 2014, puts him in the top 8.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 792nd in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2011, he has put 109 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Lijie 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.
