Joesef E. Amar

3×3 · top 1.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2023 · 2023AMAR02

Joesef E. Amar has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.35, set at Bacolod Big Cubes 2024, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 150th in the Philippines. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since August 2023, he has put 92 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.71 in August 2023 to 7.35, a 53% improvement. Joesef has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
