Wenbo Sun (孙文博)
Pyraminx · top 6.0% of 129,321 all-time · competing since April 2017 · 2017SUNW02
Wenbo Sun (孙文博) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.63, set at Beijing Summer 2018, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 714th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since April 2017, he has put 191 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 18.45 in April 2017 to 11.01, a 40% improvement. Wenbo has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
