2×2 · top 6.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2022 · 2022YUAN01
Andy Yuan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.19, set at Circle City Supercharged 2022, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,437th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since May 2022, he has put 93 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.85 in May 2022 to 15.10, a 39% improvement. Andy has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
