Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since April 2018, he has put 78 official solves on the record across six events. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.09 in April 2018 to 3.51, a 42% improvement. Qingyuan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
