Ruixi Huang (黄瑞玺)
Pyraminx · top 7.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2018 · 2018HUAN83
Ruixi Huang (黄瑞玺) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.92, set at Yunnan Open 2025, puts him in the top 7.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 860th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2018, he has put 98 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.28 in October 2018 to 2.75, a 48% improvement. Ruixi has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
