Jotham Hoe

3×3 · top 5.9% of 284,439 all-time · competing since February 2015 · 2015HOEJ01

Jotham Hoe has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.44, set at Singapore Rubik's Cube Competition 2017, puts him in the top 5.9% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 163rd in Singapore. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since February 2015, he has put 126 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 53% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.18 in February 2015 to 9.44, a 42% improvement. Jotham has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
