Solving style vs the field
Compared against 12287 reconstructed solves by 451 tracked solvers.
Average moves per stage
| them | field | Δ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cross | 8.6 | 11.4 | -2.8 |
| F2L | 31.2 | 29 | +2.2 |
| OLL | 8.4 | 11.9 | -3.5 |
| PLL | 14.2 | 13.1 | +1.1 |
| Full solve | 62.4 | 65.5 | -3.1 |
Move tokens per reconstructed solve, split by stage - fewer than the field means a more move-efficient stage.
Techniques used
| solves | them | field | |
|---|---|---|---|
| VLS | 1 | 20.0% | 3.7% |
| ZBLL | 1 | 20.0% | 11.0% |
Share of solves using each last-slot / last-layer technique, vs the share across all tracked solves.
Algorithm choices
| mainstream | field | differing cases | |
|---|---|---|---|
| OLL | 33% | 58% | 2/3 |
| PLL | 67% | 59% | 1/3 |
"Mainstream" = share of their executions using the field's most common alg for that case. A lower number than the field average means a more unusual alg sheet.
OLL algorithms
3 recognized executions · 33% done with the field's most common alg for the case (field average 58%) · go-to alg differs from the field's on 2 of 3 cases
PLL algorithms
3 recognized executions · 67% done with the field's most common alg for the case (field average 59%) · go-to alg differs from the field's on 1 of 3 cases
