Yubin Huang (黄昱宾) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.84, set at Guangzhou Grand Open 2026, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,793rd in China. Until October 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since November 2025, he has put 69 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.32 in November 2025 to 9.84, a 56% improvement. Yubin has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
