Yexing Li (李烨星) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 15.56, set at Huzhou Open 2024, puts him in the top 26.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,850th in China. Across 12 competitions since November 2015, he has put 160 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs.

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.
