Joseph Lee

3×3 · top 7.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since January 2018 · 2018LEEJ01

Joseph Lee has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.15, set at Georgia Goobers 2019, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,357th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2018, he has put 125 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 83% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.46 in January 2018 to 10.15, a 57% improvement. Joseph has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
