Akash Reddy has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.23, set at Shaastra Cube Open 2018, puts him in the top 6.5% of the 189,179 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 513th in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since April 2014, he has put 222 official solves on the record across seven events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 80% of the 36,406 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 12.62 in April 2014 to 9.82, a 22% improvement. Akash has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% 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.
