Xingyu Wu (伍星宇) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.27, set at Xuzhou Winter 2019, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 74,164 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 369th in China. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since April 2018, he has put 472 official solves on the record across 14 events.

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.
