3×3 · top 1.9% of 288,433 all-time · competing since August 2010 · 2010LIYU02

Yu-Ying Li (李昱穎) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.46, set at Chien Kuo Cubing Party 2024, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 115th in Chinese Taipei. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 67 competitions since August 2010, he has put 1,437 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.08 in August 2010 to 7.46, a 56% improvement. He has entered 67 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
