3×3 · top 8.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2011 · 2011JINZ01

Zijing Jin (金子靖) has been competing for 15 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.44, set at SJTU Open 2018, puts her in the top 8.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,419th in China. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2011, she has put 109 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 7% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.94 in October 2011 to 10.44, a 19% improvement. Zijing 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.
