Pinyao Wang (王品尧) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.08, set at Chongqing Open 2013, puts him in the top 6.3% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 590th in China. Until September 2009, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2013, he has put 120 official solves on the record across five 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. Pinyao has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
