Zibo Lin (林子博)

3×3 · top 29.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017LINZ10

Zibo Lin (林子博) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.65, set at Quanzhou Open 2019, puts him in the top 29.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10,960th in China. Across 7 competitions since November 2017, he has put 37 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 55.27 in November 2017 to 16.65, a 70% improvement. Zibo has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
