Xinan Jiang (姜信安)
3×3 · top 4.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2025 · 2025JIAN01
Xinan Jiang (姜信安) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.00, set at Zibo Open 2025, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,846th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2025, he has put 66 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.85 in January 2025 to 9.00, a 30% improvement. Xinan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
