Huining Huang (黄徽宁) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 0.55, set at Singapore AMK CC Cubing A 2023, puts him in the top 0.021% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9th in China. Until March 2016, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since December 2019, he has put 725 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 78% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.97 in December 2019 to 4.81, a 63% improvement. Huining has entered 23 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
