Joshua Bayne

2×2 · top 3.7% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2016 · 2016BAYN02

Joshua Bayne has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.82, set at Crossroads Cubing 2017, puts him in the top 3.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,444th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 3 competitions since June 2016, he has put 35 official solves on the record across three events. His 3×3 best has come down from 55.84 in June 2016 to 12.97, a 77% improvement. Joshua has entered three competitions, more competitions than 69% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
