Yanli Xie (谢燕丽) has been competing for 17 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 5.30, set at Shenzhen University 2011, puts her in the top 15.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,774th in China. Across 11 competitions since October 2009, she has put 156 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 63% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 19.75 in October 2009 to 13.94, a 29% improvement. Yanli has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
