Haochen Wang (王皓辰) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.78, set at Qinhuangdao Winter 2018, puts him in the top 6.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 791st in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since December 2012, he has put 188 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His Pyraminx best has come down from 20.96 in December 2012 to 3.78, an 82% improvement. Haochen has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
