Ruohan Yu (于若涵)
Pyraminx · top 1.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024YURU01
Ruohan Yu (于若涵) has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.19, set at Weihai Open 2026, puts her in the top 1.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 165th in China. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2024, she has put 120 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 5.04 in April 2024 to 2.19, a 57% improvement. Ruohan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Percentile against all competitors ever ranked in each event, a fairer measure than raw rank, because the pools differ by a factor of ten.

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.
