Jie Yang (杨杰)

3×3 · top 25.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2014 · 2014YANG23

Jie Yang (杨杰) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 15.32, set at Zhongshan Children's Cube Day 2019, puts him in the top 25.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,593rd in China. Across 5 competitions since August 2014, he has put 67 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.98 in August 2014 to 15.32, a 15% improvement. Jie has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
