Kyle Rongkai Wang has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.25, set at Rubik's WCA World Championship 2025, puts him in the top 1.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 182nd in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since September 2023, he has put 315 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 5.75 in September 2023 to 1.73, a 70% improvement. Kyle has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
