Joseph Limmer has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 4.37, set at Brisbane Summer 2024, puts him in the top 31.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 548th in New Zealand. Across 8 competitions since February 2023, he has put 118 official solves on the record across six events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 38.34 in February 2023 to 21.51, a 44% improvement. Joseph has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
