Josiah Vaisanen has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.02, set at Scarborough Fall A 2023, puts him in the top 4.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 472nd in Canada. Until May 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since March 2023, he has put 68 official solves on the record across three events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 18.01 in March 2023 to 9.02, a 50% improvement. Josiah has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
