3×3 · top 1.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025LIQI03
Qinqi Li (李钦琪) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.11, set at Wuhu Open 2026, puts her in the top 1.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 516th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2025, she has put 102 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 9.47 in April 2025 to 7.11, a 25% improvement. Qinqi has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
