Shuai Yuan (袁帅) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.88, set at Xi'an Open 2024, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 247th in China. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2023, he has put 85 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. Shuai has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
