Yuang Liu (刘宇昂) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.95, set at Nanjing Normal University 2013, puts him in the top 10.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,038th in China. Across 6 competitions since December 2010, he has put 122 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.19 in December 2010 to 10.95, a 43% improvement. Yuang has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
