Amey Gaba

4×4 · top 0.042% of 83,917 all-time · competing since December 2016 · 2016GABA02

Amey Gaba has been competing for 10 years. His best event is the 4×4: a personal-best single of 19.66, set at UIUC Spring 2026, puts him in the top 0.042% of the 83,917 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 1st in India. Until June 2017, no official 4×4 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 79 competitions since December 2016, he has put 2,267 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 27.52 in January 2017 to 4.58, an 83% improvement. Amey has entered 79 competitions, more competitions than 99% of everyone who has ever competed.

Best single per competition, 3×3. Faster is higher — the axis is the right way up.

The story so far

Competitions

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.
