Jonathan O'Neill has been competing for 6 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 7.28, set at Clockburn 2023, puts him in the top 2.1% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 24th in Australia. Until May 2014, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since December 2020, he has put 554 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.70 in December 2020 to 8.25, a 44% improvement. Jonathan has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
