Yuzheng Lin (蔺雨筝) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.90, set at Beijing Autumn Begins 2026, puts her in the top 7.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,796th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since January 2025, she has put 37 official solves on the record across three events. Her 3×3 best has come down from 25.41 in January 2025 to 9.90, a 61% improvement. Yuzheng has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
