Donghao Guo (郭东昊) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.61, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 297th in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2016, he has put 226 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 60% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 14.29 in July 2016 to 2.61, an 82% improvement. Donghao has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
