Zexin Wang (王泽鑫) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.40, set at Luoyang Spring 2024, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 650th in China. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since June 2017, he has put 736 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.56 in June 2017 to 1.45, a 74% improvement. Zexin 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.
