Yangming Wang (王扬铭) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 4.61, set at Lishui Open 2025, puts him in the top 0.057% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 39th in China. Until October 2017, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since March 2024, he has put 445 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 90% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 6.10 in March 2024 to 4.61, a 24% improvement. Yangming has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% 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.
