Aayush Gupta

2×2 · top 6.1% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2017 · 2017GUPT30

Aayush Gupta has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.19, set at Indian Nationals 2019, puts him in the top 6.1% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 474th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since August 2017, he has put 240 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.12 in November 2017 to 2.19, a 69% improvement. Aayush has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 2×2. 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.
