Pyraminx · top 12.4% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017YANY05

Yang Yang (杨洋) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.87, set at Qianjiang Summer Open 2018, puts him in the top 12.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,480th in China. Across 11 competitions since October 2017, he has put 158 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 58% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.82 in November 2017 to 12.88, a 38% improvement. Yang has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
