Ming Yang (杨名)

3×3 · top 14.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017YANM03

Ming Yang (杨名) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.28, set at China Championship 2019, puts him in the top 14.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,850th in China. Across 7 competitions since November 2017, he has put 33 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.58 in November 2017 to 12.28, a 40% improvement. Ming has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
