3×3 · top 0.96% of 288,433 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025XUWE04
Weichen Xu (徐玮宸) has been competing for a year. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.61, set at Wuhan Crimson Autumn 2026, puts him in the top 0.96% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 360th in China. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since October 2025, he has put 100 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 75% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.80 in October 2025 to 6.61, a 25% improvement. Weichen has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
