Zhuoting Qu (屈卓廷)
3×3 · top 6.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017QUZH02
Zhuoting Qu (屈卓廷) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.56, set at Huizhou 10th Anniversary 2024, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,427th in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since October 2017, he has put 350 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.75 in October 2017 to 9.56, a 54% improvement. Zhuoting has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
