Liang He (何梁) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 54.91, set at Nanchang Winter 2019, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 174th in China. Until April 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2017, he has put 134 official solves on the record across eight events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 21.10 in October 2017 to 10.42, a 51% improvement. Liang has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
