3×3 · top 6.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since August 2021 · 2021LIUR01
Ranger Liu has been competing for 5 years. Their best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.76, set at Seattle Summer 2026, puts them in the top 6.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,793rd in the United States. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2021, they have put 91 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, their 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Ranger 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.
