Xuanming Tian (田轩铭) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.75, set at Yancheng Open 2024, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 333rd in China. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since March 2024, he has put 157 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.57 in March 2024 to 10.59, a 27% improvement. Xuanming has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
