Jason Yu
Pyraminx · top 8.0% of 130,891 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023YUJA03
Jason Yu has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.06, set at Mother Earth's Charter Spring 2024, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 962nd in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2023, he has put 129 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 10.57 in July 2023 to 3.98, a 62% improvement. Jason has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
