Gefei Yang (杨歌斐)

3×3 · top 0.23% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2023 · 2023YANG71

Gefei Yang (杨歌斐) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.44, set at Huizhou 10th Anniversary 2024, puts her in the top 0.23% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 97th in China. Until April 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2023, she has put 166 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 6.85 in October 2023 to 5.44, a 21% improvement. Gefei has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
