Wangjun Xie (谢王骏)
3×3 · top 2.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2017 · 2017XIEW01
Wangjun Xie (谢王骏) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.95, set at Xiamen Autumn 2019, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 972nd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since May 2017, he has put 184 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 56% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.69 in May 2017 to 7.95, a 32% improvement. Wangjun has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
