3×3 · top 6.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017DENG04
Xi Deng (邓熙) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.77, set at Shenzhen Open 2024, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,656th in China. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 17 competitions since March 2017, he has put 283 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.26 in March 2017 to 9.77, a 70% improvement. Xi has entered 17 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
