Joseph DePinho

2×2 · top 8.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2016 · 2016DEPI01

Joseph DePinho has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.41, set at South East Texas Open 2017, puts him in the top 8.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,178th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2016, he has put 61 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 17.34 in November 2016 to 10.59, a 39% improvement. Joseph has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
