Ting-Wei Chang (張廷維) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.75, set at Kaohsiung Winter Open 2024, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 410th in Chinese Taipei. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2015, he has put 139 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 16.36 in March 2015 to 9.75, a 40% improvement. He has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
