Jacob Joshi has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 1.19, set at Australian Nationals 2026, puts him in the top 0.14% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10th in Australia. Until April 2018, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 67 competitions since January 2021, he has put 3,699 official solves on the record across 15 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 13.40 in January 2021 to 6.17, a 54% improvement. Jacob has entered 67 competitions, more competitions than 99% 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.
