Zeyu Liu (刘泽宇) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 2.12, set at Xi'an Summer 2025, puts him in the top 1.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 145th in China. Until July 2011, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2024, he has put 161 official solves on the record across six events.

His Pyraminx best has come down from 12.68 in March 2024 to 2.12, an 83% improvement. Zeyu has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
