Yousen Liu (刘有森) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 18.88, set at Tianjin Winter 2012, puts him in the top 17.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,724th in China. Across 4 competitions since November 2011, he has put 76 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.61 in November 2011 to 14.53, a 22% improvement. Yousen has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
