Yu-Chen Wang (王于宸) has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3 one-handed: a personal-best single of 14.69, set at Kaohsiung Open 2014, puts him in the top 7.5% of the 73,695 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 100th in Chinese Taipei. Until August 2008, no official 3×3 one-handed solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since August 2010, he has put 336 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 60% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.11 in August 2010 to 10.19, a 49% improvement. He has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
