3×3 · top 13.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2012 · 2012ZHAO03

Wanlei Zhao (赵万磊) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 11.81, set at Hefei Spring 2014, puts him in the top 13.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 5,224th in China. Across 3 competitions since March 2012, he has put 52 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.97 in March 2012 to 11.81, a 44% improvement. Wanlei has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
