Chenyang Li (李辰扬) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.05, set at Nanchang Spring 2024, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 131st in China. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2024, he has put 226 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.91 in April 2024 to 7.10, a 10% improvement. Chenyang 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.
