Xiaoxiao Liu (刘笑笑) has been competing for 5 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.91, set at Tianjin Open 2024, puts her in the top 1.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 439th in China. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2021, she has put 75 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 8.58 in May 2021 to 6.91, a 19% improvement. Xiaoxiao 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.
