Dylan J. Stangler

Square-1 · top 5.5% of 25,272 all-time · competing since October 2019 · 2019STAN14

Dylan J. Stangler has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 9.61, set at Minnesota Slice 2023, puts him in the top 5.5% of the 25,272 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 398th in the United States. Until October 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since October 2019, he has put 82 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 23.94 in October 2019 to 15.50, a 35% improvement. Dylan has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
