2×2 · top 54.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since May 2014 · 2014CHEN16

Wenliu Cheng (程文镠) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 6.36, set at Cross-strait Cubing Exchange 2014, puts him in the top 54.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 9,251st in China. Across 5 competitions since May 2014, he has put 66 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 46.72 in May 2014 to 31.41, a 33% improvement. Wenliu has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

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.
