3×3 · top 14.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2009 · 2009XUAN02

Qixuan Lin (林齐萱) has been competing for 17 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.21, set at Xi'an Lucky Open 2011, puts her in the top 14.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,752nd in China. Across 6 competitions since July 2009, she has put 47 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 25.96 in July 2009 to 12.21, a 53% improvement. Qixuan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
