Tiancheng Xia (夏天程) has been competing for 8 years.

Across 4 competitions since November 2018, he has put 77 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% 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 20.65 in November 2018 to 11.37, a 45% improvement. Tiancheng 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.
