Chen-An Yu (尤晨安)
3×3 · top 6.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2018 · 2018YUCH05
Chen-An Yu (尤晨安) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.60, set at Chien Kuo Cubing Party 2019, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 381st in Chinese Taipei. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2018, he has put 125 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.33 in June 2018 to 9.60, a 53% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
