Yunzhe Jia (贾云哲)

3×3 · top 3.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since September 2017 · 2017JIAY05

Yunzhe Jia (贾云哲) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.56, set at Zhengzhou Open 2018, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,460th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2017, he has put 146 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 93% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.16 in September 2017 to 8.56, a 30% improvement. Yunzhe has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
