3×3 · top 10.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2024 · 2024LIUX04

Xuanwen Liu (刘轩闻) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.00, set at Xuzhou Newcomers 2025, puts him in the top 10.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,100th in China. Across 10 competitions since June 2024, he has put 98 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.28 in June 2024 to 11.00, a 17% improvement. Xuanwen has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
