Joshua Jackson

3×3 · top 2.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since November 2022 · 2022JACK14

Joshua Jackson has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.97, set at Runaway Bay May Saturday 2023, puts him in the top 2.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 266th in Australia. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2022, he has put 144 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 9.89 in November 2022 to 7.97, a 19% improvement. Joshua has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
