Qixian Cao (曹岂娴) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 3.24, set at Hangzhou Winter 2025, puts her in the top 0.0018% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in China. Until June 2023, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 65 competitions since September 2023, she has put 1,136 official solves on the record across two events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 5.35 in September 2023 to 3.24, a 39% improvement. Qixian has entered 65 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
