Yixi Li (李懿汐) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.77, set at Inner Mongolia Winter 2019, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,656th in China. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2016, he has put 131 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.17 in October 2016 to 9.77, a 26% improvement. Yixi has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
