Pinda Qian (钱品达)

3×3 · top 1.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2019 · 2019QIAN08

Pinda Qian (钱品达) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.00, set at Zhengzhou Summer 2021, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 468th in China. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2019, he has put 74 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.49 in May 2019 to 7.00, a 52% improvement. Pinda has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
