Zixuan Li (李子轩)

3×3 one-handed · top 5.6% of 73,695 all-time · competing since August 2024 · 2024LIZI09

Zixuan Li (李子轩) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 13.74, set at Taizhou Open 2025, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 528th in China. Until January 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2024, he has put 94 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.08 in August 2024 to 10.04, a 17% improvement. Zixuan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
