Jonas Bell
2×2 · top 2.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022BELL08
Jonas Bell has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.60, set at Berkeley Summer 2023, puts him in the top 2.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,011th in the United States. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2022, he has put 183 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 85% 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 14.23 in April 2022 to 10.19, a 28% improvement. Jonas has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
