3×3 · top 7.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023CHEN93

Yi-Fei Chen (陳儀菲) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.84, set at Shin Kong Cube Open - New Taipei 2025, puts her in the top 7.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 422nd in Chinese Taipei. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since June 2023, she has put 170 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 71% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 32.24 in June 2023 to 9.84, a 69% improvement. She has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% 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.
