Xingzhuo Xiao (肖星灼) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 9.44, set at Nanchang Medium & Small Cubes 2018, puts her in the top 75.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12,266th in China. Across 6 competitions since May 2018, she has put 69 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs.

The story so far

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.
