Ruijie Xu (徐锐杰)
3×3 one-handed · top 3.5% of 73,695 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018XURU03
Ruijie Xu (徐锐杰) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 12.39, set at Hangzhou Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 3.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 305th in China. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since June 2018, he has put 68 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 39.07 in June 2018 to 12.39, a 68% improvement. Ruijie has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
