Rose O'Neill has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.19, set at Rebel County Cubing 2024, puts her in the top 6.0% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 39th in Ireland. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 20 competitions since July 2022, she has put 811 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 73% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. Her 3×3 best has come down from 31.61 in July 2022 to 10.88, a 66% improvement. Rose has entered 20 competitions, more competitions than 97% 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.
