Jiang Wu (吴江)

3×3 one-handed · top 7.2% of 73,695 all-time · competing since July 2011 · 2011WUJI01

Jiang Wu (吴江) has been competing for 15 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.58, set at Fuzhou Open 2013, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 699th in China. Until August 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2011, he has put 219 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.02 in July 2011 to 10.69, an 18% improvement. Jiang has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
