Kexin Huang (黄可欣) has been competing for 3 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.85, set at Jiangmen Open 2025, puts her in the top 1.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 42nd in China.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 9.18 in November 2023 to 7.32, a 20% improvement. Kexin has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
