Joseph Carinci

4×4 · top 27.1% of 83,917 all-time · competing since June 2017 · 2017CARI04

Joseph Carinci has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 51.96, set at Rhode Island Winter 2024, puts him in the top 27.1% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,178th in the United States. Across 5 competitions since June 2017, he has put 84 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 21.68 in June 2017 to 15.94, a 26% improvement. Joseph has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
