Xingyu Wu (吴惺宇)

Pyraminx · top 5.2% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016WUXI02

Xingyu Wu (吴惺宇) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.43, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 5.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 617th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since July 2016, he has put 270 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 52.16 in July 2016 to 11.46, a 78% improvement. Xingyu has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
