Yen-Wei Li (李彥緯) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.10, set at Taipei Winter Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 460th in Chinese Taipei. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2016, he has put 187 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 11.68 in October 2016 to 10.10, a 14% improvement. He 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.
