Jonah Smith Posner
3×3 · top 8.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2023 · 2023POSN02
Jonah Smith Posner has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.37, set at Pretzel Mania Summer 2024, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,709th in the United States. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since March 2023, he has put 183 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 74% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.48 in March 2023 to 10.37, a 28% improvement. Jonah has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
