Janel McGrath has been competing for 12 years. Her best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 5.43, set at Atlantic Open 2016, puts her in the top 16.0% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 638th in Canada. Across 5 competitions since May 2014, she has put 170 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one; 95% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 3 DNFs. Her Pyraminx best has come down from 10.38 in May 2014 to 5.43, a 48% improvement. Janel has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
