Lishen Wei (魏利燊)
3×3 · top 9.2% of 288,433 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017WEIL05
Lishen Wei (魏利燊) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.56, set at Shenzhen Open 2023, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,659th in China. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2017, he has put 92 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.62 in October 2017 to 10.56, a 57% improvement. Lishen has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
