Rubik’s Cube Average of 5 / 12 (Ao5 / Ao12) Calculator
This Ao5 / Ao12 calculator works out your speedcubing average using the official WCA rules: drop the single best and single worst solve, then take the arithmetic mean of the rest. Paste your solve times (12.34 or 1:23.45 format, DNF for a did-not-finish) to instantly get your Ao5, Ao12 (or Mo3), best single and DNF count.
Enter at least one valid time (e.g. 12.34 or 1:23.45); use DNF for a did-not-finish.

Formula
Ao5 / Ao12 = arithmetic mean of the remaining solves after dropping the single best and single worst Mo3 = arithmetic mean of 3 solves (nothing dropped) A DNF counts as the worst; more than one DNF makes the whole average a DNF
- · Based on WCA Regulations Article 9 (Averages and Means).
- · Ao5 (5 solves) and Ao12 (12 solves): drop the single fastest and single slowest, then mean the rest.
- · Mo3 (mean of 3): nothing is dropped — any single DNF makes the whole Mo3 a DNF.
- · A DNF (did-not-finish) or DNS (did-not-start) counts as the worst solve: an Ao5/Ao12 allows only one DNF (it is dropped as the worst); two or more DNFs make the average a DNF.
- · The "best single" and the "average" are two separate records — competitions usually track both.
- · Trimming the fastest and slowest solve reduces the impact of a single lucky or unlucky solve, so the average reflects consistent performance.
Frequently asked
How is an Ao5 calculated?
An Ao5 (average of 5) takes your five solve times, drops the fastest and the slowest, and averages the remaining three. For 9.87, 10.98, 11.72, 12.34, 13.50 you drop 9.87 and 13.50, then average (10.98 + 11.72 + 12.34) / 3 ≈ 11.68 seconds. Trimming the extremes stops one unusually fast or slow solve from skewing the average.
How does a DNF affect the average?
A DNF (did-not-finish — e.g. an incorrect solve or over the time limit) counts as the worst result. In an Ao5 or Ao12 a single DNF is dropped as the "worst" solve, so the average still counts as long as the remaining solves are valid. But with two or more DNFs, one is dropped and another still remains in the counted set, so the whole average becomes a DNF.
What is the difference between Ao5 and Mo3?
A Mo3 (mean of 3) is the plain arithmetic mean of three solves with nothing dropped, so any single DNF makes the Mo3 a DNF. An Ao5/Ao12 first drops the best and worst solve, giving more tolerance (it survives one DNF). Officially 3x3 uses Ao5, while big cubes such as 6x6 and 7x7 (and 3x3 finals) use Mo3.
