Yuezhen Li (李岳蓁) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.45, set at Beijing Winter 2026, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,305th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2017, he has put 36 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.21 in September 2017 to 9.45, a 38% improvement. Yuezhen 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.
