Aayush Ozarkar
2×2 · top 9.8% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2023 · 2023OZAR02
Aayush Ozarkar has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.59, set at Be Quick in Brunswick 2023, puts him in the top 9.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,865th in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since July 2023, he has put 122 official solves on the record across four events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, an early reading from 8 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 6.44 in July 2023 to 2.59, a 60% improvement. Aayush has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
