Ziyi Huang (黄子艺)
Skewb · top 8.7% of 73,281 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016HUAN23
Ziyi Huang (黄子艺) has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.66, set at China Championship 2019, puts her in the top 8.7% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 501st in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2016, she has put 160 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her Skewb best has come down from 9.19 in July 2016 to 3.66, a 60% improvement. Ziyi has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
