Nicole Prindle
2×2 · top 5.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2013 · 2013PRIN01
Nicole Prindle has been competing for 13 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.09, set at Carnegie Mellon Fall 2013, puts her in the top 5.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,134th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 4 competitions since November 2013, she has put 69 official solves on the record across five events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 21.05 in November 2013 to 12.90, a 39% improvement. Nicole has entered four competitions, more competitions than 78% 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.
