Zeyu Hu (胡泽宇) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 1.55, set at WCA Asian Championship 2018, puts him in the top 0.51% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 28th in China. Until October 2015, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since December 2014, he has put 784 official solves on the record across eleven events.

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.
