Zhihao Wang (王志豪) has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.52, set at Hangzhou Spring 2018, puts him in the top 9.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,519th in China. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 16 competitions since April 2012, he has put 303 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.96 in April 2012 to 10.52, a 61% improvement. Zhihao has entered 16 competitions, more competitions than 96% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
