Yimo Li (李羿默) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.32, set at Shantou Open 2018, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 215th in China. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since July 2014, he has put 263 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.37 in July 2014 to 8.88, a 49% improvement. Yimo has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
