Rui Fan (樊瑞) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.59, set at Asian Championship 2016, puts him in the top 23.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,783rd in China. Across 5 competitions since February 2014, he has put 57 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.70 in February 2014 to 14.59, a 13% improvement. Rui has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
