Xinhao Yang (杨心昊) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.95, set at Shanghai Winter is Coming 2016, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 894th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since May 2015, he has put 117 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 3.61 in April 2016 to 2.85, a 21% improvement. Xinhao has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
