3×3 · top 82.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023YEXI01

Xiaofeng Ye (叶晓峰) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 45.63, set at Houston Back to School 2025, puts him in the top 82.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 23,605th in China. Across 7 competitions since June 2023, he has put 62 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 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:03.29 in June 2023 to 45.63, a 28% improvement. Xiaofeng has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
