3×3 · top 17.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since July 2013 · 2013ZHUX01
Xiaowei Zhu (朱小薇) has been competing for 13 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.89, set at China's 10th Anniversary Championship 2017, puts her in the top 17.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,813th in China. Across 8 competitions since July 2013, she has put 80 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 19.13 in July 2013 to 12.89, a 33% improvement. Xiaowei has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
