Xinrui Lin (林鑫睿)

3×3 · top 6.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018LINX02

Xinrui Lin (林鑫睿) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.69, set at Nanchang Open 2019, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,563rd in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2018, he has put 250 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.56 in April 2018 to 9.69, a 29% improvement. Xinrui has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
