Leo Qin has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.13, set at Auckland Spring 2018, puts her in the top 8.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 132nd in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since September 2017, she has put 135 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 5.55 in September 2017 to 4.13, a 26% improvement. Leo 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.
