Joseph Solorio
3×3 · top 7.4% of 288,433 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023SOLO06
Joseph Solorio has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.96, set at Beckman Gets Big 2023, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 288,433 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,106th in the United States. Until May 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since June 2023, he has put 170 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 13.51 in June 2023 to 9.96, a 26% improvement. Joseph has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
