Xiangshan Li (李向珊) has been competing for a year. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.84, set at Beijing Autumn Rivalry 2026, puts her in the top 0.89% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 103rd in China. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since January 2025, she has put 139 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 2.45 in February 2026 to 1.84, a 25% improvement. Xiangshan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
