Joey Rozman

2×2 · top 4.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2014 · 2014ROZM01

Joey Rozman has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.91, set at MIT Fall 2015, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,655th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2014, he has put 174 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 77% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 58.85 in April 2014 to 24.57, a 58% improvement. Joey has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
