Aditya Bareja

4×4 · top 0.074% of 83,917 all-time · competing since March 2022 · 2022BARE01

Aditya Bareja has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 20.50, set at Korum Cube Challenge 2025, puts him in the top 0.074% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2nd in India. Until June 2017, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 31 competitions since March 2022, he has put 1,071 official solves on the record across ten events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 13% around a typical one, steadier than 52% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.86 in April 2022 to 6.04, a 53% improvement. Aditya has entered 31 competitions, more competitions than 98% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. 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.
