3×3 · top 30.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017LIUZ17
Zining Liu (柳子宁) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 16.78, set at Wuhan Chuyun Spring 2019, puts him in the top 30.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 11,094th in China. Across 9 competitions since November 2017, he has put 49 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 56% 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 43.23 in November 2017 to 16.78, a 61% improvement. Zining has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
