Yu Lin (林昱) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 14.45, set at Fuzhou Open 2018, puts him in the top 22.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,632nd in China. Across 3 competitions since October 2017, he has put 59 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Yu 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.
