Rui Yin (殷锐) has been competing for 9 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.62, set at Hangzhou Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 782nd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2025, he has put 45 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 20% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Rui 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.
