Dylan Yihan Dai
3×3 · top 8.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2018 · 2018DAID01
Dylan Yihan Dai has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.32, set at Oakville Autumn Limited 2018, puts him in the top 8.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 776th in Canada. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since January 2018, he has put 148 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.07 in January 2018 to 10.32, a 46% improvement. Dylan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
