Pyraminx · top 0.84% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018ZHAN74

Jiaming Zhang (张嘉铭) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.81, set at China Championship 2019, puts him in the top 0.84% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 96th in China. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since April 2018, he has put 453 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.31 in April 2018 to 8.84, a 54% improvement. Jiaming has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
