Lei He (贺雷) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.23, set at China Championship 2019, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 181st in China. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since August 2016, he has put 260 official solves on the record across seven events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 4.70 in August 2016 to 2.23, a 53% improvement. Lei has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
