Haoyu Wu (吴浩宇)

3×3 · top 4.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2012 · 2012WUHA02

Haoyu Wu (吴浩宇) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.75, set at Sydney Winter Sunday 2022, puts him in the top 4.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,634th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since November 2012, he has put 215 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.30 in November 2012 to 8.75, a 52% improvement. Haoyu has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
