Pengfei Luo (罗芃霏) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.62, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 300th in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2016, he has put 273 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 3.62 in July 2016 to 2.48, a 31% improvement. Pengfei has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
