Jinyi Liu (刘瑾怡) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.66, set at Guangzhou Special 2026, puts her in the top 6.1% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 740th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since May 2018, she has put 212 official solves on the record across five events.

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.
