Simon Yin has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.86, set at Foothills Fright 2018, puts him in the top 23.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,300th in Canada. Across 4 competitions since August 2018, he has put 64 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 7% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.97 in August 2018 to 14.86, a 32% improvement. Simon 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.
