Alexander Bhayani
2×2 · top 4.4% of 186,767 all-time · competing since August 2013 · 2013BHAY01
Alexander Bhayani has been competing for 13 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.94, set at Caltech Winter Open 2014, puts him in the top 4.4% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1,731st in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 7 competitions since August 2013, he has put 112 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 10% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 3 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 26.68 in August 2013 to 12.68, a 52% improvement. Alexander has entered seven competitions, more competitions than 88% 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.
