Weiwei Lu (陆威威)
3×3 · top 4.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024LUWE01
Weiwei Lu (陆威威) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.97, set at Xuzhou Autumn 2024, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,828th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since March 2024, he has put 44 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.12 in March 2024 to 8.97, a 26% improvement. Weiwei 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.
