Yu-Shan Lee (李宇善)
3×3 · top 5.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023LEEY05
Yu-Shan Lee (李宇善) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.16, set at Shin Kong Cube Open - Kaohsiung 2024, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 314th in Chinese Taipei. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since June 2023, he has put 102 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one; 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.40 in June 2023 to 9.16, a 44% improvement. He has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
