3×3 · top 0.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2024 · 2024HUAX01

Xia Hua (华夏) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.03, set at Shenyang Autumn 2025, puts her in the top 0.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 190th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since January 2024, she has put 175 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 8.93 in January 2024 to 6.03, a 32% improvement. Xia has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
