3×3 · top 6.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025WUXI03
Xiaoyu Wu (吴孝羽) has been competing for 10 months. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.64, set at Hefei Cubing League 3x3 II 2026, puts her in the top 6.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,503rd in China. Until November 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2025, she has put 30 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 13.53 in October 2025 to 9.64, a 29% improvement. Xiaoyu has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
