Rose Appleyard

3×3 · top 85.5% of 284,439 all-time · competing since October 2022 · 2022APPL01

Rose Appleyard has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 49.25, set at Sydney Summer 2023, puts her in the top 85.5% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 10,142nd in Australia. Across 7 competitions since October 2022, she has put 38 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside her 2 DNFs. Rose has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
