Jonathan David González Araúz has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Clock: a personal-best single of 6.61, set at Dolphin Cup ISP 2024, puts him in the top 9.5% of the 32,048 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3rd in Panama. Until June 2010, no official Clock solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since October 2022, he has put 230 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one; 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.77 in October 2022 to 16.35, a 57% improvement. Jonathan has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
