Xucong Ma (马旭聪) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.54, set at Shantou Open 2015, puts him in the top 15.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 6,201st in China. Across 5 competitions since August 2010, he has put 79 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.68 in August 2010 to 12.54, a 33% improvement. Xucong has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
