5×5 blindfolded · top 2.6% of 1,134 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016XUWE02

Sora Wenjie Xu (徐文杰) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 5×5 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 4:20.63, set at Shenyang Open 2023, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 1,134 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4th in China. Until April 2017, no official 5×5 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 75 competitions since July 2016, he has put 718 official solves on the record across 17 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 blindfolded best has come down from 4:49.49 in December 2016 to 29.97, a 90% improvement. Sora has entered 75 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3 blindfolded. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
