Hao Wu (吴昊) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.61, set at TKK Open 2016, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 130,891 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 720th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2014, he has put 139 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 62% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.58 in August 2014 to 10.14, a 60% improvement. Hao has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
