Yinuo Zhao (赵伊诺)

Pyraminx · top 0.82% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017ZHAO10

Yinuo Zhao (赵伊诺) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.79, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom Special 2021, puts him in the top 0.82% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 92nd in China. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since April 2017, he has put 248 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 34.51 in April 2017 to 7.35, a 79% improvement. Yinuo has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
