2×2 · top 9.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2016 · 2016WANY04

Yanpeng Wang (王延鹏) has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.51, set at Yangzhou Open 2017, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,330th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 2 competitions since July 2016, he has put 33 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 best has come down from 22.32 in July 2016 to 17.55, a 21% improvement. Yanpeng has entered two competitions.

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.
