Andy Mrose
3×3 · top 9.7% of 284,439 all-time · competing since May 2012 · 2012MROS01
Andy Mrose has been competing for 14 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 10.74, set at SBU Fall 2019, puts him in the top 9.7% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 504th in Japan. Until August 2006, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since May 2012, he has put 172 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 16.06 in May 2012 to 10.74, a 33% improvement. Andy has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
