Yuanhao Wu (吴元皓) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.17, set at Guangzhou Small Cubes 2025, puts him in the top 0.97% of the 189,857 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 105th in China. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since November 2017, he has put 527 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 9.43 in November 2017 to 6.68, a 29% improvement. Yuanhao has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
