Tingrui Xu (许庭瑞)
Megaminx · top 4.9% of 34,786 all-time · competing since December 2014 · 2014XUTI01
Tingrui Xu (许庭瑞) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 49.38, set at Shenyang Summer 2018, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 107th in China. Until October 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2014, he has put 74 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.59 in December 2014 to 10.16, a 59% improvement. Tingrui 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.
