Yizhu Qin (秦艺宁) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 17.85, set at Linfen Open 2019, puts her in the top 33.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 12,108th in China. Across 3 competitions since July 2018, she has put 51 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 25.22 in July 2018 to 17.85, a 29% improvement. Yizhu has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
