Xiangxi Tang (唐祥希) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 36.07, set at Beijing Summer 2019, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 798th in China. Until July 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2014, he has put 137 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.20 in June 2014 to 10.16, a 23% improvement. Xiangxi 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.
