3×3 · top 8.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017DAIX01

Xixiao Dai (戴熙晓) has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.39, set at China Championship 2019, puts her in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,369th in China. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since December 2017, she has put 137 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 24.95 in December 2017 to 10.39, a 58% improvement. Xixiao has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
