Ajay Thambyrajah has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.27, set at Johor Cube Open 2018, puts him in the top 6.8% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 163rd in Malaysia. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 13 competitions since July 2016, he has put 247 official solves on the record across five events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 39.45 in July 2016 to 12.25, a 69% improvement. Ajay has entered 13 competitions, more competitions than 94% 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.
