Shubin Ou (欧书彬) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.08, set at Guilin Open 2019, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 961st in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2018, he has put 152 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.92 in June 2018 to 10.82, a 16% improvement. Shubin has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
