Xiaoyang Lu (陆潇扬) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.66, set at Hangzhou Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 319th in China. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2016, he has put 163 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 4.75 in October 2016 to 2.66, a 44% improvement. Xiaoyang has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
