Yishuo Zhu (朱翊硕)
3×3 · top 0.29% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2023 · 2023ZHUY02
Yishuo Zhu (朱翊硕) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.60, set at Taizhou Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.29% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 120th in China. Until March 2013, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2023, he has put 104 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 59% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 6.61 in October 2023 to 5.60, a 15% improvement. Yishuo has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
