Yuxuan Zheng (郑豫轩) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.89, set at Jieyang Winter 2019, puts him in the top 0.97% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 110th in China. Until April 2012, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since October 2017, he has put 406 official solves on the record across eight events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 4.21 in October 2017 to 1.89, a 55% improvement. Yuxuan has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
