3×3 · top 36.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014CHUJ01
Joshua Chu has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 18.86, set at SacCubing I 2017, puts him in the top 36.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 20,644th in the United States. Across 7 competitions since November 2014, he has put 81 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 37.64 in November 2014 to 18.86, a 50% improvement. Joshua 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.
