Akil Ganesh Kumar has been competing for 4 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.48, set at Zottegem Saturday Open 2024, puts him in the top 8.7% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 82nd in Belgium. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 9 competitions since April 2022, he has put 133 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 11% around a typical one, steadier than 84% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 15.27 in April 2022 to 11.23, a 26% improvement. Akil has entered nine competitions, more competitions than 91% 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.
