Zichao Ye (叶子超)
2×2 · top 19.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2012 · 2012YEZI01
Zichao Ye (叶子超) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.47, set at Nanjing Autumn 2014, puts him in the top 19.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,252nd in China. Across 8 competitions since March 2012, he has put 176 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.31 in March 2012 to 15.06, an 18% improvement. Zichao has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
