3×3 · top 22.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015LIUY02

Yuanjun Liu (刘元俊) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.35, set at Nanjing Autumn 2016, puts him in the top 22.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,500th in China. Across 4 competitions since May 2015, he has put 46 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.88 in May 2015 to 14.35, a 20% improvement. Yuanjun has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
