Mingze Yin (殷铭泽) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.05, set at Chengdu Summer 2024, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 69th in China. Until December 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2024, he has put 80 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 2.38 in March 2024 to 2.05, a 14% improvement. Mingze has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
