3×3 · top 2.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since July 2015 · 2015LUOW01
Wei Luo (罗巍) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.51, set at Maoming Open 2017, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 709th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since July 2015, he has put 420 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.75 in July 2015 to 7.51, a 23% improvement. Wei 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.
