Shih-Wei Wang (汪士惟)
2×2 · top 8.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since December 2010 · 2010WANG69
Shih-Wei Wang (汪士惟) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Kaohsiung Autumn Open 2019, puts him in the top 8.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 247th in Chinese Taipei. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since December 2010, he has put 116 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 91% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.72 in April 2011 to 11.64, a 30% improvement. He 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.
