Ze Li (李泽) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.50, set at Guangzhou SYSU Open 2015, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 481st in China. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since November 2010, he has put 279 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 one-handed best has come down from 21.00 in May 2012 to 13.50, a 36% improvement. Ze has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
