Andy Wu

3×3 one-handed · top 0.89% of 74,621 all-time · competing since November 2024 · 2024WUAN02

Andy Wu has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 9.72, set at Australian Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 0.89% of the 74,621 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 79th in China. Until December 2011, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since November 2024, he has put 589 official solves on the record across 16 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 59% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.27 in November 2024 to 7.17, a 30% improvement. Andy has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
