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.

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.
