Yohei Hayashi (林洋平) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.59, set at Yoga Summer B 2022, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 403rd in Japan. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since May 2018, he has put 103 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.15 in May 2018 to 10.59, a 30% improvement. Yohei has entered 20 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.
