Guixin Qi (齐桂鑫) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.44, set at Shenyang Spring 2025, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 626th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2024, he has put 51 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Guixin has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
