Ted Wu

3×3 · top 66.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022WUTE01

Ted Wu has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 32.31, set at Pretzel Mania Summer 2023, puts him in the top 66.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 39,902nd in the United States. Across 8 competitions since July 2022, he has put 67 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 50.94 in July 2022 to 32.31, a 37% improvement. Ted has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
