3×3 · top 8.6% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022WILB02
Joshua Wilburt has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.40, set at River Hill Spring 2024, puts him in the top 8.6% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 4,753rd in the United States. Until February 2007, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since October 2022, he has put 84 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one; 55% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. His 3×3 best has come down from 24.81 in October 2022 to 10.40, a 58% improvement. Joshua has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% 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.
