Anuj Abhay Joshi

2×2 · top 1.3% of 186,767 all-time · competing since July 2014 · 2014JOSH05

Anuj Abhay Joshi has been competing for 12 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.27, set at Speed Cubing Mumbai Unlimited 2015, puts him in the top 1.3% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 87th in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 5 competitions since July 2014, he has put 93 official solves on the record across three events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 18% around a typical one, an early reading from 7 counted rounds. His 2×2 best has come down from 7.22 in July 2014 to 1.27, an 82% improvement. Anuj 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.
