Joseph Jenkinson has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.30, set at NZ South Island Championship 2023, puts him in the top 7.1% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 158th in New Zealand. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since March 2022, he has put 575 official solves on the record across ten events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 15.95 in March 2022 to 10.11, a 37% improvement. Joseph has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
