3×3 · top 0.21% of 288,433 all-time · competing since December 2024 · 2024LUYU07
Yuchun Lu (陆宇淳) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.39, set at Hangzhou Winter 2025, puts him in the top 0.21% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 91st in China. Until April 2015, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2024, he has put 94 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 91% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.39 in December 2024 to 5.39, a 27% improvement. Yuchun has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
