Xirui Huang (黄兮睿) has been competing for 8 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.80, set at Foshan Open 2026, puts her in the top 0.37% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 147th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since October 2018, she has put 463 official solves on the record across six events.

Her 3×3 best has come down from 15.69 in October 2018 to 5.80, a 63% improvement. Xirui has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
