Hanyu Li (李涵余)

3×3 · top 3.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2018 · 2018LIHA15

Hanyu Li (李涵余) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.35, set at Hangzhou Open AM 2021, puts him in the top 3.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,280th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2018, he has put 67 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 35.54 in October 2018 to 8.35, a 77% improvement. Hanyu has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
