Ke Wang (王轲) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.39, set at Xi'an Summer 2025, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 133rd in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2016, he has put 170 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His Skewb best has come down from 4.70 in July 2016 to 2.39, a 49% improvement. Ke 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.
