Cindy Xiaoyue Huang (黄小越) has been competing for 7 years. Her best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 27.72, set at Cool Down Berkeley 2024, puts her in the top 3.6% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 59th in China. Until April 2012, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 50 competitions since June 2019, she has put 1,008 official solves on the record across 15 events.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
