Lauren Rose

2×2 · top 63.2% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2017 · 2017ROSE02

Lauren Rose has been competing for 10 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 7.35, set at CubingUSA Nationals 2018, puts her in the top 63.2% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 26,016th in the United States. Across 9 competitions since February 2017, she has put 87 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 1:44.44 in February 2017 to 32.70, a 69% improvement. Lauren has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
