3×3 · top 9.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2018 · 2018SHIY09
Yan Shi (施妍) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.50, set at Taizhou Open 2019, puts her in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,505th in China. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2018, she has put 109 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 17.78 in October 2018 to 10.50, a 41% improvement. Yan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
