Minyang Shi (时旻扬) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 19.22, set at Xi'an Open 2024, puts him in the top 1.1% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12th in China. Until November 2016, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2017, he has put 68 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 blindfolded best has come down from 3:37.34 in March 2018 to 19.22, a 91% improvement. Minyang has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
