Clara Ryan Mueller has been competing for a year. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.50, set at Bursins Goes Fast 2026, puts her in the top 8.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,497th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since May 2025, she has put 392 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 54% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 7 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 34.73 in May 2025 to 15.28, a 56% improvement. Clara has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
