Yufan Zhang (张宇帆) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.08, set at Xianju Special 2026, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 467th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2024, he has put 95 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 11.04 in August 2024 to 3.08, a 72% improvement. Yufan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
