Xinshi Yu (余欣实) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.01, set at China Championship 2018, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 910th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2016, he has put 135 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 6.87 in October 2016 to 4.01, a 42% improvement. Xinshi has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
