Hillary Yang

Pyraminx · top 0.87% of 129,321 all-time · competing since November 2019 · 2019YANH09

Hillary Yang has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.83, set at Gem City Side Events 2022, puts her in the top 0.87% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 249th in the United States. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since November 2019, she has put 238 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 9.01 in November 2019 to 1.83, an 80% improvement. Hillary has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
