Weiwen Chen (陈蔚文)
2×2 · top 4.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017CHEW02
Weiwen Chen (陈蔚文) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.02, set at Xuzhou Spring 2019, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 676th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since August 2017, he has put 20 official solves on the record across two events. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.07 in August 2017 to 2.02, a 60% improvement. Weiwen has entered two competitions.

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.
