Solving style vs the field
Compared against 12287 reconstructed solves by 451 tracked solvers.
Average moves per stage
| them | field | Δ | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cross | 10.1 | 11.4 | -1.3 |
| F2L | 28.6 | 29 | -0.4 |
| OLL | 12.8 | 11.9 | +0.9 |
| PLL | 10 | 13.1 | -3.1 |
| Full solve | 61.5 | 65.5 | -4 |
Move tokens per reconstructed solve, split by stage - fewer than the field means a more move-efficient stage.
Techniques used

Share of solves using each last-slot / last-layer technique, vs the share across all tracked solves.
Algorithm choices
| mainstream | field | differing cases | |
|---|---|---|---|
| OLL | 26% | 58% | 20/31 |
| PLL | 38% | 59% | 8/15 |
"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
65 recognized executions · 26% done with the field's most common alg for the case (field average 58%) · go-to alg differs from the field's on 20 of 31 cases
