Arnav Adani has been competing for 7 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 1.08, set at DSK Cube Open 2023, puts him in the top 0.72% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 42nd in India. Until November 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 27 competitions since August 2019, he has put 1,107 official solves on the record across 14 events.

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.
