Xinbo Yu (于馨博)

3×3 · top 23.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017YUXI02

Xinbo Yu (于馨博) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.86, set at Xi'an New Year 2020, puts him in the top 23.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,088th in China. Across 4 competitions since October 2017, he has put 38 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% 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 30.32 in October 2017 to 14.86, a 51% improvement. Xinbo 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.
