Akshat Vinay Rathi
2×2 · top 7.6% of 186,767 all-time · competing since March 2017 · 2017RATH01
Akshat Vinay Rathi has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.36, set at Varsha Ritu Cube Open 2018, puts him in the top 7.6% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 601st in India. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since March 2017, he has put 152 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 2 DNFs. His 2×2 best has come down from 5.87 in August 2017 to 2.36, a 60% improvement. Akshat 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.
