3×3 · top 0.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2025 · 2025WUSH04
Shaoang Wu (吴少昂) has been competing for 9 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.85, set at Yancheng Spring Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 156th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2025, he has put 169 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.15 in November 2025 to 5.85, an 18% improvement. Shaoang has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
