Yinfei Wang (王寅飞) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.48, set at China Championship 2019, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 149th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since November 2017, he has put 504 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.66 in November 2017 to 8.96, a 29% improvement. Yinfei has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
