Yuhao Chen (陈宇浩) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 43.67, set at Shenzhen New Year 2017, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 56th in China. Until April 2011, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2015, he has put 113 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.77 in January 2015 to 10.10, a 54% improvement. Yuhao 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.
