3×3 · top 2.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since April 2024 · 2024WANG57

Yilong Wang (王亦龙) has been competing for 2 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 8.07, set at Shenyang Cubing League 3x3 IV 2026, puts him in the top 2.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,057th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2024, he has put 84 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.37 in April 2024 to 8.07, a 51% improvement. Yilong has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
