Hesui Yang (杨和穗) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.06, set at Zhuhai Open 2025, puts him in the top 5.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,952nd in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2017, he has put 132 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.55 in October 2017 to 9.06, a 51% improvement. Hesui has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
