Yuyan Zhong (钟雨妍)
Skewb · top 8.0% of 73,281 all-time · competing since May 2015 · 2015ZHON02
Yuyan Zhong (钟雨妍) has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.55, set at Taiyuan Open 2016, puts her in the top 8.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 456th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since May 2015, she has put 235 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 51% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 5 DNFs. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 8.20 in October 2015 to 5.18, a 37% improvement. Yuyan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
