Joel Yang has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.00, set at T-Town Showdown 2022, puts him in the top 4.8% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,938th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since October 2022, he has put 40 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 11.62 in October 2022 to 10.23, a 12% improvement. Joel has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
