3×3 · top 0.0056% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023YUHA01

Hansen Yu (余翰森) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 3.50, set at Chengdu Welcoming Summer 2026, puts him in the top 0.0056% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in China. Until November 2018, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since March 2023, he has put 750 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 6.84 in March 2023 to 3.50, a 49% improvement. Hansen has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
