3×3 · top 1.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025XUWE04
Weichen Xu (徐玮宸) has been competing for 10 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.12, set at Fuzhou Summer 2026, puts him in the top 1.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 523rd in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2025, he has put 80 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 87% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.80 in October 2025 to 7.12, a 19% improvement. Weichen has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
