Long Wen (文龙) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 35.42, set at Yunnan Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 714th in China. Until July 2010, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2017, he has put 64 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.22 in October 2017 to 10.01, an 11% improvement. Long has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
