Square-1 · top 6.4% of 25,662 all-time · competing since April 2025 · 2025MORT04
Isobel Morton has been competing for a year. Her best event is the Square-1: a personal-best single of 10.19, set at Brighton Side Events Day 2026, puts her in the top 6.4% of the 25,662 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26th in New Zealand. Until August 2010, no official Square-1 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 10 competitions since April 2025, she has put 389 official solves on the record across twelve events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 99% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 36.15 in April 2025 to 12.60, a 65% improvement. Isobel has entered ten competitions, more competitions than 92% 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.
