Xiyuan Huang (黄熙媛)
Pyraminx · top 9.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017HUAN81
Xiyuan Huang (黄熙媛) has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.44, set at China Championship 2019, puts her in the top 9.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,173rd in China. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2017, she has put 85 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 5.20 in October 2017 to 4.44, a 15% improvement. Xiyuan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
