Ruishan Wen (温睿山)
3×3 one-handed · top 2.4% of 73,695 all-time · competing since December 2017 · 2017WENR01
Ruishan Wen (温睿山) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 11.48, set at Tramsheds II: May Sunday 2024, puts him in the top 2.4% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 199th in China. Until August 2010, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2017, he has put 169 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.94 in December 2017 to 9.51, a 47% improvement. Ruishan has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
