Hongyi Hu (胡泓毅)
Skewb · top 9.2% of 73,281 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016HUHO01
Hongyi Hu (胡泓毅) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.75, set at Jieyang Winter 2019, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 538th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since December 2016, he has put 129 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.66 in December 2016 to 11.56, a 15% improvement. Hongyi has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
