3×3 · top 4.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023WUYI06
Yi Wu (武艺) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.60, set at Zibo Open 2024, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,499th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2023, he has put 96 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.53 in November 2023 to 8.60, a 25% improvement. Yi has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
