Tingpeng Wang (王霆鹏)
3×3 · top 3.1% of 288,433 all-time · competing since November 2017 · 2017WANT02
Tingpeng Wang (王霆鹏) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.17, set at Shenzhen Nanshan Open 2024, puts him in the top 3.1% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,172nd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2017, he has put 84 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.11 in November 2017 to 8.17, a 38% improvement. Tingpeng 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.
