Shurong Ye (叶殊溶)

3×3 · top 9.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2016 · 2016YESH01

Shurong Ye (叶殊溶) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.68, set at Wuhan Open 2021, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,715th in China. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2016, he has put 50 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.08 in May 2016 to 10.68, a 12% improvement. Shurong has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
