Jiuwei Li (李九威) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.04, set at Nanjing Spring 2017, puts him in the top 3.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 452nd in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since October 2015, he has put 223 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 23.36 in October 2015 to 11.67, a 50% improvement. Jiuwei has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
