Yung-Hsu Yang (楊詠旭)
3×3 · top 4.5% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2023 · 2023YANG61
Yung-Hsu Yang (楊詠旭) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.81, set at Chien Kuo Cubing Party 2025, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 268th in Chinese Taipei. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 15 competitions since September 2023, he has put 304 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 71% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 9 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.59 in September 2023 to 8.81, a 40% improvement. He has entered 15 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
