3×3 blindfolded · top 4.5% of 12,178 all-time · competing since October 2024 · 2024WANJ04
Jacob Wang has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 31.12, set at Berkeley August Weekday 2025, puts him in the top 4.5% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 88th in the United States. Until April 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since October 2024, he has put 36 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.97 in October 2024 to 10.35, a 14% improvement. Jacob has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
