Taylor Schannon

2×2 · top 3.9% of 189,179 all-time · competing since November 2022 · 2022SCHA17

Taylor Schannon has been competing for 4 years. Her best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.85, set at Bay Area Speedcubin' 64 LIVE - SSF 2024, puts her in the top 3.9% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,553rd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 26 competitions since November 2022, she has put 671 official solves on the record across 13 events. Solve to solve, her 3×3 times vary about 14% around a typical one; 69% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds hold a tighter spread. That figure sets aside her 11 DNFs. Her 3×3 best has come down from 19.45 in November 2022 to 9.59, a 51% improvement. Taylor has entered 26 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

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.
