Joseph Mangapot

3×3 · top 1.8% of 284,439 all-time · competing since March 2022 · 2022MANG01

Joseph Mangapot has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.40, set at Berkeley Summer 2022, puts him in the top 1.8% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,103rd in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since March 2022, he has put 169 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 57% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.42 in March 2022 to 7.40, a 21% improvement. Joseph has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
