Zhuoyan Li (李卓言) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 52.72, set at China Championship 2019, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 35,351 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 154th in China. Until April 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since April 2018, he has put 150 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 4×4 best has come down from 50.97 in April 2018 to 38.28, a 25% improvement. Zhuoyan has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
