Josiah Edmond

3×3 · top 1.2% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2019 · 2019EDMO01

Josiah Edmond has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 6.88, set at OKC Holiday Cube-Off 2024, puts him in the top 1.2% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 741st in the United States. Until November 2010, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 11 competitions since December 2019, he has put 496 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 15% around a typical one; 79% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 7 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 20.46 in December 2019 to 6.88, a 66% improvement. Josiah has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
