Yanhao Xue (薛闫昊)
Pyraminx · top 5.5% of 129,321 all-time · competing since January 2017 · 2017XUEY01
Yanhao Xue (薛闫昊) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.52, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 659th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2017, he has put 129 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His Pyraminx best has come down from 5.35 in January 2017 to 3.52, a 34% improvement. Yanhao 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.
