3×3 · top 0.0069% of 288,433 all-time · competing since February 2025 · 2025LIAN01

Yunzhi Lian (连允之) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 3.54, set at Wuhan Crimson Autumn 2026, puts her in the top 0.0069% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 13th in China. Until November 2018, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 35 competitions since February 2025, she has put 609 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 85% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 7.72 in February 2025 to 3.54, a 54% improvement. Yunzhi has entered 35 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
