Wenxuan Yue (岳文轩) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 29.03, set at China Championship 2017, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 65th in China. Until February 2012, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since May 2015, he has put 258 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 50% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.22 in May 2015 to 8.68, a 39% improvement. Wenxuan 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.
