Jessica Ying has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.56, set at Appleby Summer A 2023, puts her in the top 0.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 18th in Canada. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since May 2017, she has put 277 official solves on the record across four events.

Her Pyraminx best has come down from 11.72 in May 2017 to 1.56, an 87% improvement. Jessica has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
