3×3 · top 4.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022WANG45
Aiden Wang has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.02, set at Waterloo Fall 2025, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 472nd in Canada. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2022, he has put 197 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.84 in August 2022 to 9.02, a 43% improvement. Aiden 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.
