3×3 · top 2.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023BAIS03
Shao-Hua Bai (白少華) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.82, set at Shin Kong Cube Open - New Taipei 2025, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 144th in Chinese Taipei. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2023, he has put 38 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.90 in November 2023 to 7.82, a 21% improvement. He has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
