Joey Rubas has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.54, set at CubingUSA Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 5.6% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,455th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since April 2017, he has put 130 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 32.88 in April 2017 to 11.42, a 65% improvement. Joey has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
