Yi-Chun Wang (王逸雋) has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.46, set at Big Cubes Challenge 2016, puts him in the top 8.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 230th in Chinese Taipei.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.44 in August 2013 to 12.82, a 30% improvement. He has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
