Wenxi Zeng (曾文熹) has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.68, set at Zhuhai Open 2025, puts him in the top 1.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 373rd in China. Until January 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since October 2019, he has put 132 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 61% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 19.11 in October 2019 to 6.68, a 65% improvement. Wenxi has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
