Wayne Wang
3×3 · top 3.0% of 288,433 all-time · competing since April 2014 · 2014WANG18
Wayne Wang has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.11, set at Pickering Mini Afternoon 2024, puts him in the top 3.0% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 305th in Canada. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2014, he has put 162 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 64% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 5 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.26 in April 2014 to 8.11, a 21% improvement. Wayne has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
