3×3 · top 0.57% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2023 · 2023WANZ05

Zizhou Wang (王梓洲) has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.14, set at Changsha Open 2023, puts him in the top 0.57% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 214th in China. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since November 2023, he has put 78 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 86% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 7.21 in November 2023 to 6.14, a 15% improvement. Zizhou has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
