Pyraminx · top 9.8% of 129,321 all-time · competing since July 2022 · 2022LEEJ26
Jonathan Lee has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 4.42, set at Music City Speedsolving 2023, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,538th in the United States. Until September 2006, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2022, he has put 133 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% 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 26.59 in July 2022 to 13.91, a 48% improvement. Jonathan 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.
