Wei Ji (季炜) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.54, set at Hangzhou Winter 2025, puts him in the top 6.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,403rd in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since August 2013, he has put 749 official solves on the record across 13 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.63 in August 2013 to 9.54, a 39% improvement. Wei has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
