Xiaoyu Yue (岳宵宇)
Pyraminx · top 1.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2018 · 2018YUEX01
Xiaoyu Yue (岳宵宇) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.16, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2024, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 155th in China. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2018, he has put 132 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.84 in October 2018 to 10.49, a 72% improvement. Xiaoyu has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
