Pyraminx · top 2.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since August 2016 · 2016FANC01

Chunyang Fan (范鰆杨) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.63, set at ZHBIT Open 2019, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 302nd in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since August 2016, he has put 211 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 36.41 in August 2016 to 11.15, a 69% improvement. Chunyang has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
