Jonathan Sheffer has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.90, set at BeCubed Summer 2019, puts him in the top 7.2% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,833rd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since March 2018, he has put 100 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.94 in March 2018 to 10.20, a 40% improvement. Jonathan has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% 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.
