Han-Yu Yao (姚瀚宇) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.95, set at Taiwan Open 2015, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 43rd in Chinese Taipei. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2014, he has put 243 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.47 in August 2014 to 9.35, a 31% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
