Jiayu Wang (王家钰) has been competing for 12 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.63, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2016, puts her in the top 11.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,304th in China. Across 8 competitions since December 2014, she has put 121 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 31.88 in December 2014 to 14.43, a 55% improvement. Jiayu has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
