Ruixi Ye (叶芮希)

3×3 · top 7.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017YERU01

Ruixi Ye (叶芮希) has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.92, set at Shandong Open 2019, puts her in the top 7.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,816th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since August 2017, she has put 136 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 14.81 in August 2017 to 9.92, a 33% improvement. Ruixi has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
