Xitian Luo (罗习添)
3×3 blindfolded · top 6.7% of 12,178 all-time · competing since October 2009 · 2009LUOX01
Xitian Luo (罗习添) has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 39.83, set at Cross-strait Cubing Exchange 2016, puts him in the top 6.7% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 116th in China. Until August 2009, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since October 2009, he has put 102 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.86 in August 2010 to 10.93, a 26% improvement. Xitian 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.
