Yining Liu (刘译柠)
3×3 · top 2.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017LIUY23
Yining Liu (刘译柠) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.63, set at Xiamen Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 790th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2017, he has put 46 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.47 in October 2017 to 7.63, a 43% improvement. Yining has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
