Xuzhe Li (李旭哲)

3×3 one-handed · top 7.5% of 73,695 all-time · competing since June 2021 · 2021LIXU01

Xuzhe Li (李旭哲) has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.70, set at Roma ar Cubbo 2024, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 725th in China. Until August 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since June 2021, he has put 67 official solves on the record across six events. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 22.59 in June 2021 to 14.70, a 35% improvement. Xuzhe has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
