Rylan Gottschalk

2×2 · top 20.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since April 2022 · 2022GOTT01

Rylan Gottschalk has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 3.53, set at CubingUSA Western Championship 2023, puts her in the top 20.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 8,067th in the United States. Across 5 competitions since April 2022, she has put 53 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 10% 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 26.76 in April 2022 to 15.16, a 43% improvement. Rylan has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% 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.
