Haoyan Meng (孟昊岩) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 4.09, set at Lanzhou Spring 2019, puts him in the top 11.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 684th in China. Across 5 competitions since May 2018, he has put 78 official solves on the record across five events.

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.
