Pyraminx · top 27.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2018 · 2018LIUY25

Yuou Liu (刘禹欧) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.00, set at Shenyang Open 2023, puts him in the top 27.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,111th in China. Across 8 competitions since May 2018, he has put 70 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 22% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 8 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 2:42.87 in May 2018 to 19.24, an 88% improvement. Yuou has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
