Ethan Wang has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 3.15, set at Cecil Singapore Playoffs 2024, puts him in the top 0.97% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 14th in Singapore. Until May 2021, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since June 2022, he has put 890 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.02 in June 2022 to 6.74, a 44% improvement. Ethan has entered 27 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
