Pyraminx · top 4.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2018 · 2018DIQI01
Qi Di (狄琦) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.26, set at Wuhan Chuyun Spring 2019, puts her in the top 4.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 551st in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2018, she has put 147 official solves on the record across five 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 Pyraminx best has come down from 5.69 in April 2018 to 3.26, a 43% improvement. Qi has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
