Xiaozhu Guo (郭晓宁) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 Fewest Moves: a personal-best single of 26 moves, set at FMC 2024, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 12,418 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 61st in China. Across 11 competitions since August 2018, he has put 229 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.62 in August 2018 to 10.17, a 60% improvement. Xiaozhu has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
