Jintian Ye (叶锦天) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.82, set at Xi'an Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.089% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 45th in China. Until November 2016, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2025, he has put 134 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.78 in April 2025 to 4.82, a 38% improvement. Jintian 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.
