Pyraminx · top 5.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since May 2019 · 2019HUAN53
Ancheng Huang (黄安诚) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.43, set at Shenyang Spring 2024, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 617th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2019, he has put 100 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 42.47 in May 2019 to 9.36, a 78% improvement. Ancheng has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
