3×3 · top 42.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2019 · 2019LIYU04

Yulong Li (李玉龙) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 20.83, set at Xuzhou Zenith 2026, puts him in the top 42.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14,289th in China. Across 7 competitions since March 2019, he has put 49 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Yulong has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
