3×3 · top 2.0% of 284,439 all-time · competing since December 2022 · 2022JOYC02

Krishna Joyce has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 7.52, set at Pittsburgh Winter 2025, puts him in the top 2.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,190th in the United States. Until July 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 29 competitions since December 2022, he has put 1,100 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 20.73 in December 2022 to 7.52, a 64% improvement. Krishna has entered 29 competitions, more competitions than 98% 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.
