Jinyi Ye (叶瑾怡) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.42, set at Taiyuan Winter Open 2016, puts her in the top 5.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,272nd in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2016, she has put 34 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Jinyi has entered two competitions.

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.
