Nolan Pelley
2×2 · top 87.5% of 186,767 all-time · competing since November 2009 · 2009PELL01
Nolan Pelley has been competing for 17 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 13.27, set at Harvard Fall 2012, puts him in the top 87.5% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 36,330th in the United States. Across 11 competitions since November 2009, he has put 93 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 19% around a typical one; 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 1:38.78 in November 2009 to 1:10.53, a 29% improvement. Nolan has entered eleven competitions, more competitions than 93% 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.
