Yongsheng He (何永生)

2×2 · top 12.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since October 2009 · 2009HEYO01

Yongsheng He (何永生) has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.85, set at One-to-eight Cubes Competition 2011, puts him in the top 12.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,967th in China. Across 9 competitions since October 2009, he has put 80 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 9.31 in August 2010 to 2.85, a 69% improvement. Yongsheng has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
