Jiayue Xu (徐佳越) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.39, set at Hangzhou Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 32nd in China. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since August 2024, he has put 107 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 3.12 in August 2024 to 1.39, a 55% improvement. Jiayue 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.
