Jonah M. Dolesh has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Megaminx: a personal-best single of 52.87, set at CubingUSA Great Lakes Championship 2023, puts him in the top 6.4% of the 34,786 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 453rd in the United States. Until April 2010, no official Megaminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since November 2022, he has put 176 official solves on the record across eleven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.57 in November 2022 to 10.13, a 19% improvement. Jonah has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
