Yinhao Ding has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.72, set at WCA World Championship 2019, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 278th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 25 competitions since January 2019, he has put 518 official solves on the record across 14 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.80 in January 2019 to 13.35, a 48% improvement. Yinhao has entered 25 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
