Graham Johnson has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 5.94, set at UCSD For Hemophilia 2023, puts him in the top 0.45% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 299th in the United States. Until June 2011, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since May 2015, he has put 140 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 66% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.74 in May 2015 to 5.94, a 67% improvement. Graham 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.
