Yuanzhi Li (李远之)
4×4 · top 10.5% of 85,040 all-time · competing since November 2015 · 2015LIYU05
Yuanzhi Li (李远之) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 38.59, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2018, puts him in the top 10.5% of the 85,040 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,137th in China. Across 3 competitions since November 2015, he has put 38 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.16 in November 2015 to 11.48, a 46% improvement. Yuanzhi has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
