Yu-Cheng Hong (洪鈺承) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 11.42, set at CK Cubing Party 2023, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 41st in Chinese Taipei. Until October 2009, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since February 2023, he has put 65 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.15 in February 2023 to 10.93, a 23% improvement. He 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.
