Wei-Cheng Chen (陳為政)
3×3 · top 9.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2015 · 2015CHEN16
Wei-Cheng Chen (陳為政) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.73, set at Taiwan Cubing Challenge 2023, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 583rd in Chinese Taipei. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2015, he has put 117 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 94% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.86 in April 2015 to 10.73, a 53% improvement. He has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
