Chin-Shuan Wang (王至玄) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 5×5: a personal-best single of 1:03.64, set at Taoyuan Airport Cube Day 2024, puts him in the top 7.7% of the 41,402 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 126th in Chinese Taipei. Until September 2010, no official 5×5 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since December 2018, he has put 241 official solves on the record across seven events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.00 in December 2018 to 10.61, a 34% improvement. He has entered 13 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.
