Shunyu Wu (吴舜禹)
3×3 · top 5.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2015 · 2015WUSH02
Shunyu Wu (吴舜禹) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.20, set at Nanning Open 2019, puts him in the top 5.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,059th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2015, he has put 252 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.59 in July 2015 to 2.53, a 55% improvement. Shunyu 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.
