3×3 · top 5.1% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2025 · 2025WENK01
Zhao Wenkang has been competing for 11 months. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.12, set at Stevenage March 2026, puts him in the top 5.1% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 139th in Singapore. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2025, he has put 101 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. Zhao has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
