Anay Khandelwal

2×2 · top 7.9% of 186,767 all-time · competing since June 2023 · 2023KHAN35

Anay Khandelwal has been competing for 3 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.39, set at Lucky Lynnwood 2023, puts him in the top 7.9% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 3,103rd in the United States. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since June 2023, he has put 39 official solves on the record across two events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 17% around a typical one, an early reading from 6 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 28.60 in June 2023 to 18.97, a 34% improvement. Anay has entered five competitions, more competitions than 83% of everyone who has ever competed.

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.
