3×3 · top 4.0% of 288,433 all-time · competing since September 2025 · 2025WANJ05

Jack Wang has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.59, set at Soda City Cubing SC 2026, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,265th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since September 2025, he has put 138 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.43 in September 2025 to 8.59, a 36% improvement. Jack has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
