Pyraminx · top 2.7% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017YANG18
Jia Yang (杨佳) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.70, set at Baoji Open 2019, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 318th in China. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since April 2017, he has put 277 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.58 in April 2017 to 17.79, a 53% improvement. Jia 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.
