Yun-Zhe Wu (吳昀哲) has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.95, set at Taipei Cube Open 2026, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 155th in Chinese Taipei. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 12 competitions since December 2022, he has put 240 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.31 in December 2022 to 7.95, a 15% improvement. He has entered twelve competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
