Hongbo Li (李鸿波) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.93, set at Shijiazhuang Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 868th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since November 2017, he has put 57 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.92 in November 2017 to 11.07, a 20% improvement. Hongbo 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.
