Joakim Johannessen has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.86, set at Norwegian Championship 2018, puts him in the top 3.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 68th in Norway. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since July 2016, he has put 308 official solves on the record across six events.

His 2×2 best has come down from 4.34 in July 2016 to 1.86, a 57% improvement. Joakim has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
