Yuanxian Huang (黄远宪) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.94, set at Wuhan Open 2019, puts him in the top 4.7% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 259th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since October 2017, he has put 384 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 80% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.43 in November 2017 to 9.42, a 24% improvement. Yuanxian has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
