Joshua Eom has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 2.20, set at TJHSST Fall 2018, puts him in the top 1.9% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 284th in the United States. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since December 2017, he has put 234 official solves on the record across 14 events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 12.22 in December 2017 to 8.16, a 33% 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.
