Jinyu Li (李锦钰) has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.44, set at Xuzhou Open 2025, puts her in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 626th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2024, she has put 85 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 12.91 in April 2024 to 10.10, a 22% improvement. Jinyu has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
