Yibo Peng (彭奕博) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.68, set at Chengdu Open 2018, puts him in the top 8.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 509th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2016, he has put 131 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Skewb best has come down from 7.83 in May 2016 to 3.68, a 53% improvement. Yibo has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
