Wenyu Liu (刘文宇) has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.96, set at Heilongjiang Open 2015, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,934th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since May 2014, he has put 35 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.69 in May 2014 to 9.96, a 15% improvement. Wenyu has entered two 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.
