3×3 · top 5.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2012 · 2012WANG26
Song Wang (王松) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.32, set at Nanchang Open 2017, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,177th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2012, he has put 144 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 65% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.50 in August 2012 to 9.32, a 40% improvement. Song has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
