3×3 · top 3.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016DING02
Yinqiao Ding (丁尹乔) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.21, set at Qianjiang Summer Open 2018, puts her in the top 3.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,166th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since April 2016, she has put 65 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 72% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.03 in April 2016 to 8.21, a 32% improvement. Yinqiao has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
