Jonah Hu

2×2 · top 4.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023HUJO01

Jonah Hu has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.91, set at Melbourne Summer 2026, puts him in the top 4.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 327th in Australia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since July 2023, he has put 122 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one; 89% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 32.27 in July 2023 to 12.11, a 62% improvement. Jonah has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
