Jinge Li (李金戈)

Pyraminx · top 0.55% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2021 · 2021LIJI02

Jinge Li (李金戈) has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.60, set at Xi'an Summer 2025, puts him in the top 0.55% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 55th in China. Until March 2013, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 23 competitions since January 2021, he has put 949 official solves on the record across 17 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 67% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 10 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.94 in January 2021 to 7.36, a 38% improvement. Jinge 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.
