Shenghui Yuan (苑盛辉) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 19.65, set at Beijing Autumn Begins 2026, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 16th in China. Until November 2016, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2023, he has put 76 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.55 in December 2023 to 8.79, a 30% improvement. Shenghui has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
