Joe DeRubertis has been competing for 16 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 48.66, set at Harvard Fall 2011, puts him in the top 85.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 52,115th in the United States. Across 6 competitions since February 2011, he has put 28 official solves on the record across one event. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 8% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 59.50 in February 2011 to 48.66, an 18% improvement. Joe 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.
