He Li (李贺)
Megaminx · top 9.6% of 34,786 all-time · competing since April 2016 · 2016LIHE01
He Li (李贺) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 59.25, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 9.6% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 245th in China. Until October 2009, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since April 2016, he has put 259 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.91 in April 2016 to 3.39, a 51% improvement. He has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
