Chenxi Chen (陈晨曦) has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.69, set at Tangshan Open 2017, puts her in the top 2.7% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 322nd in China. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2015, she has put 136 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 15.84 in October 2015 to 2.69, an 83% improvement. Chenxi 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.
