Joe Yearl has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 12.22, set at National Capital Region 2019, puts him in the top 14.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,012th in the United Kingdom. Across 13 competitions since March 2014, he has put 171 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 6 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 31.41 in March 2014 to 12.22, a 61% improvement. Joe has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
