Yingjie Jian (简英杰)

3×3 · top 4.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2014 · 2014JIAN12

Yingjie Jian (简英杰) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.71, set at Zibo Open 2018, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,599th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since October 2014, he has put 49 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.93 in October 2014 to 8.71, a 20% improvement. Yingjie has entered two competitions.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
