4×4 · top 8.1% of 83,917 all-time · competing since November 2015 · 2015LIYU06
Yunnan Li (李运南) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 36.42, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2017, puts him in the top 8.1% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 834th in China. Until July 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2015, he has put 125 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 64% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.64 in November 2015 to 11.15, a 12% improvement. Yunnan 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.
