Wen Dai (戴闻)
3×3 · top 4.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024DAIW01
Wen Dai (戴闻) has been competing for 2 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.75, set at Pathum Thani Mini 2026, puts her in the top 4.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,634th in China. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2024, she has put 73 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 7 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 10.01 in March 2024 to 8.75, a 13% improvement. Wen has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
