Yuye Yan (严宇业) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 17.67, set at Guangzhou 3x3 Quiet Day 2025, puts him in the top 0.76% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 7th in China. Until July 2018, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2024, he has put 20 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 blindfolded best has come down from 21.37 in August 2024 to 17.67, a 17% improvement. Yuye has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
