Xinan He (何栖楠) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.01, set at HDU Open 2017, puts her in the top 1.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 126th in China. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 19 competitions since March 2017, she has put 543 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 3.78 in March 2017 to 2.01, a 47% improvement. Xinan has entered 19 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, Pyraminx. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
