3×3 · top 1.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024TIAN14
Qizhen Tian (田骐甄) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.43, set at Ulanqab Small Cubes 2026, puts her in the top 1.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 664th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2024, she has put 90 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 9.78 in December 2024 to 7.43, a 24% improvement. Qizhen has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
