3×3 · top 1.8% of 288,433 all-time · competing since May 2026 · 2026WANG64
Qicheng Wang (王启宬) has been competing for 6 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.39, set at Beijing Autumn Rivalry 2026, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 663rd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since May 2026, he has put 75 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.02 in May 2026 to 7.39, an 18% improvement. Qicheng 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.
