2×2 · top 4.2% of 189,179 all-time · competing since May 2025 · 2025JOHN14
Caleb Johnson has been competing for a year. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.90, set at Corny Cubers Iowa Classic 2025, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,659th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2025, he has put 162 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 70% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.35 in May 2025 to 17.25, a 54% improvement. Caleb 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.
