3×3 · top 26.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2008 · 2008LIYA01

Yaoxi Li (李垚曦) has been competing for 18 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 15.47, set at Beijing Winter 2009, puts her in the top 26.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,753rd in China. Across 6 competitions since May 2008, she has put 51 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 27.91 in May 2008 to 15.47, a 45% improvement. Yaoxi has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
