3×3 · top 1.4% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025LUOQ02
Qiyuan Luo (罗启原) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.06, set at Nanchang Summer 2026, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 509th in China. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2025, he has put 55 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.27 in April 2025 to 7.06, a 37% improvement. Qiyuan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
