Yunlong Li (李云龙)

3×3 · top 12.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since June 2009 · 2009LIYU01

Yunlong Li (李云龙) has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.68, set at Henan Open 2010, puts him in the top 12.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,054th in China. Across 6 competitions since June 2009, he has put 95 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.47 in June 2009 to 11.68, a 33% improvement. Yunlong has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
