Yutong Liu (刘昱彤) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.78, set at Shandong Open 2019, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 345th in China. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since June 2019, he has put 134 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 7% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 3.94 in June 2019 to 2.78, a 29% improvement. Yutong has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
