Hao Lin (林皓) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.63, set at GDSY Open 2019, puts him in the top 0.62% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 30th in China. Until October 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since June 2015, he has put 330 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.18 in June 2015 to 9.04, a 59% improvement. Hao has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
