Weihao Bang (彭伟豪)
Pyraminx · top 3.9% of 129,321 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016BANG08
Weihao Bang (彭伟豪) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.09, set at Cross-strait Cubing Exchange 2018, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 473rd in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since December 2016, he has put 117 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.53 in January 2017 to 9.44, an 18% improvement. Weihao 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.
