Xinjie Ma (马鑫杰) has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.22, set at Xuzhou Zenith 2026, puts him in the top 0.63% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 231st in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2021, he has put 177 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.19 in April 2021 to 6.22, a 49% improvement. Xinjie has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
