Wenxi Shen (沈闻希)

3×3 · top 0.71% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2024 · 2024SHEN03

Wenxi Shen (沈闻希) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.34, set at Hangzhou Open 2026, puts him in the top 0.71% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 263rd in China. Until May 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2024, he has put 112 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 97% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 8.36 in March 2024 to 6.34, a 24% improvement. Wenxi has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
