Zixing Wang (王子兴)

3×3 blindfolded · top 2.5% of 12,178 all-time · competing since December 2018 · 2018WANZ50

Zixing Wang (王子兴) has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the 3×3 blindfolded: a personal-best single of 23.40, set at Mental Breakdown Singapore 2022, puts him in the top 2.5% of the 12,178 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36th in China. Until August 2014, no official 3×3 blindfolded solve in the world had been that fast. Across 21 competitions since December 2018, he has put 221 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 96% 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 14.05 in December 2018 to 12.45, an 11% improvement. Zixing has entered 21 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
