Pyraminx · top 2.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since October 2016 · 2016QIAO06
Yu Qiao (乔羽) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.72, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 2.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 321st in China. Until October 2010, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2016, he has put 95 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. Yu has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
