Sean Yang has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 34.53, set at SacCubing XV 2023, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 969th in the United States. Until October 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since April 2022, he has put 241 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.09 in April 2022 to 10.42, a 42% improvement. Sean has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
