3×3 · top 28.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014CHEN54

Zhixuan Chen (陈志轩) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.07, set at Hangzhou Open 2018, puts him in the top 28.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10,387th in China. Across 8 competitions since November 2014, he has put 77 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 15.14 in November 2014 to 7.93, a 48% improvement. Zhixuan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
