2×2 · top 16.4% of 189,179 all-time · competing since December 2018 · 2018XUQI02
Qiao Xu (许琪奥) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.18, set at Beijing Winter 2019, puts him in the top 16.4% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,683rd in China. Across 6 competitions since December 2018, he has put 109 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.40 in December 2018 to 15.42, a 39% improvement. Qiao has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
