Xiao Huang (黄骁) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.02, set at Guangzhou Small Cubes 2025, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,865th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since December 2024, he has put 27 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.82 in June 2025 to 9.02, a 17% improvement. Xiao 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.
