Qianwen Liu (刘倩文) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 6.78, set at ZUST Open 2017, puts her in the top 58.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,889th in China. Across 6 competitions since August 2016, she has put 48 official solves on the record across two events.

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.
