Ruinan Wang (王瑞楠) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.85, set at Xi'an New Year 2020, puts him in the top 13.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,277th in China. Across 7 competitions since April 2018, he has put 114 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.58 in April 2018 to 11.85, a 24% improvement. Ruinan 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.
