Dorothea Lotter
Pyraminx · top 61.3% of 129,321 all-time · competing since November 2014 · 2014LOTT01
Dorothea Lotter has been competing for 12 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 11.11, set at Tuks Winter 2015, puts her in the top 61.3% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 506th in South Africa. Across 7 competitions since November 2014, she has put 56 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 5 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 4 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 1:37.53 in November 2014 to 1:22.22, a 16% improvement. Dorothea has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
