Zhuojian Ying (应卓健) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.52, set at Hangzhou Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 447th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2017, he has put 105 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.79 in August 2017 to 12.48, a 21% improvement. Zhuojian 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.
