Xintong Li (李欣桐)
Megaminx · top 5.0% of 34,786 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016LIXI06
Xintong Li (李欣桐) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 49.69, set at Hong Kong Championship 2025, puts her in the top 5.0% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 109th in China. Until October 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since July 2016, she has put 467 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 18.60 in July 2016 to 11.24, a 40% improvement. Xintong has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
