Yifan Hao (郝一凡) has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Weihai Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 261st in China. Until January 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since November 2025, he has put 50 official solves on the record across three events. His Pyraminx best has come down from 3.46 in November 2025 to 2.50, a 28% improvement. Yifan has entered two 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.
