Zilin Wang (王子霖)
3×3 · top 8.3% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2017 · 2017WANZ19
Zilin Wang (王子霖) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.27, set at Hefei Summer 2019, puts him in the top 8.3% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,230th in China. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2017, he has put 57 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 92% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 29.16 in October 2017 to 10.27, a 65% improvement. Zilin 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.
