Hangyu Xu (许航语)
Pyraminx · top 2.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025XUHA01
Hangyu Xu (许航语) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.54, set at Weihai Open 2026, puts her in the top 2.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 276th in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2025, she has put 60 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 17.17 in April 2025 to 8.90, a 48% improvement. Hangyu 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.
