Yinqin Li (李尹钦) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.98, set at Zhangzhou Open 2018, puts him in the top 0.52% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 48th in China. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 24 competitions since August 2011, he has put 718 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 60% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.40 in August 2011 to 6.19, a 50% improvement. Yinqin has entered 24 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
