3×3 · top 6.6% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2025 · 2025YINB02
Bryan Yin has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.66, set at Berkeley Spring 2026, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,670th in the United States. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2025, he has put 102 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 88% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.34 in June 2025 to 9.66, a 41% improvement. Bryan 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.
