Zicheng Wei (魏子程) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.10, set at Shenzhen Cubing 10th Anniversary 2019, puts him in the top 4.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 477th in China. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2017, he has put 264 official solves on the record across nine events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.80 in August 2017 to 9.00, a 35% improvement. Zicheng has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
