Yinfeng Lu (陆寅峰) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.09, set at Kunshan Open 2018, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 750th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2017, he has put 302 official solves on the record across eight events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.52 in January 2018 to 3.49, a 37% improvement. Yinfeng 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.
