Jonathan Pan

3×3 · top 5.4% of 284,439 all-time · competing since August 2022 · 2022PANJ03

Jonathan Pan has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.24, set at SnoCo Has Too Much 3x3 2023, puts him in the top 5.4% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,042nd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since August 2022, he has put 220 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 68% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.52 in August 2022 to 9.24, a 26% improvement. Jonathan has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
