Ruoning Shi (石若宁)

2×2 · top 14.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2018 · 2018SHIR10

Ruoning Shi (石若宁) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.05, set at Chengdu Winter 2019, puts him in the top 14.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,346th in China. Across 4 competitions since November 2018, he has put 120 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.21 in November 2018 to 3.05, a 41% improvement. Ruoning has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
