Yifei Wei (魏易非) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.17, set at Luoyang Spring 2024, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 843rd in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2019, he has put 116 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.83 in July 2019 to 9.55, a 19% improvement. Yifei has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
