Ruining Wang (王睿宁)

3×3 · top 9.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015WANG14

Ruining Wang (王睿宁) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.63, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 9.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,662nd in China. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2015, he has put 84 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 82% 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 24.02 in April 2015 to 10.63, a 56% improvement. Ruining has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
