3×3 one-handed · top 2.0% of 73,695 all-time · competing since March 2016 · 2016JIAN02

Yue Jiang (蒋越) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.17, set at Nanjing Spring 2017, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 171st in China. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since March 2016, he has put 463 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.55 in March 2016 to 8.41, a 38% improvement. Yue has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
