3×3 · top 10.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2015 · 2015ZHUQ03

Qiaoxia Zhu (朱乔侠) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.83, set at Cross-strait Cubing Exchange 2016, puts him in the top 10.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,898th in China. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2015, he has put 40 official solves on the record across four events. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.15 in October 2015 to 10.83, a 46% improvement. Qiaoxia has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
