Yuhui Hu (胡宇辉)
3×3 · top 4.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2021 · 2021HUYU03
Yuhui Hu (胡宇辉) has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.78, set at Yancheng Spring Open 2026, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,666th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since May 2021, he has put 90 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.86 in May 2021 to 8.78, an 11% improvement. Yuhui 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.
