Liuqing Yang (杨柳青) has been competing for 11 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.87, set at Xi'an Cherry Blossom 2016, puts her in the top 7.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 836th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since October 2015, she has put 192 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her 3×3 best has come down from 44.66 in October 2015 to 15.84, a 65% improvement. Liuqing has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
