Wenqiang Li (李文强)
Pyraminx · top 30.1% of 129,321 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017LIWE02
Wenqiang Li (李文强) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 7.27, set at Shenzhen Open 2017, puts him in the top 30.1% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,316th in China. Across 5 competitions since March 2017, he has put 58 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% 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 23.70 in March 2017 to 19.98, a 16% improvement. Wenqiang has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
