Minghan Li (李明瀚) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.47, set at Tianjin Summer Solstice 2021, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 256th in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since April 2017, he has put 426 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 81% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His Pyraminx best has come down from 15.86 in April 2017 to 2.47, an 84% improvement. Minghan has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
