Qifan Wang (王启帆)
3×3 blindfolded · top 4.5% of 12,178 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017WANQ06
Qifan Wang (王启帆) has been competing for 9 years. Her best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 31.29, set at Michigan Cubing Club Gamma 2019, puts her in the top 4.5% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 77th in China. Until April 2010, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since October 2017, she has put 124 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 19.05 in March 2018 to 12.80, a 33% improvement. Qifan has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
