3×3 · top 7.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017WANQ05

Qiren Wang (王麒任) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.03, set at Weihai Open 2025, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,942nd in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since October 2017, he has put 100 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.31 in October 2017 to 10.03, a 66% improvement. Qiren has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
